I was privileged to grow up in the time to witness the space program unfold. It was thrilling, and had a great deal to do with my choice of career. I will never forget sitting in the TV room of my dorm watching the moon landing.

But this accomplishment was the result of a massive team of people laboring for a decade on an effort unlike anything that came before it.

Going to the moon?

I thought that was a ploy by JFK et al to divert attention away from a growing racial problem.

*We will go to the moon* speech - given @ Rice Stadium in Houston, Texas on September 12, 1962.

On Sept 30 of the same year, the Ol Miss riots broke out. So, maybe not too effective.
