Yes...I’m fearful but hopeful. As a child in the 1960’s,
I witnessed a determined NASA program deliver as promised.

Of course, it was never as easy or flawless as presented.
But, the job got done.

I’ve been smelling the same “attitude” from this government
agency since they tossed “Goldie” and his faster, better,
cheaper nonsense.

Christmas Eve of 1968, and i had just turned 7. It was
absolute magic as men were circling around the Moon.
Of course a kid like me had no doubt that they would be
coming home.

The rest of the Apollo program ran pretty much the same.
Much success. Some snags...but they always came home.
Mission accomplished despite a crippled spacecraft or
a damaged and sunbaked orbital station.

Verify and trust in this situation.

I’m looking forward again to becoming childlike when it
comes to the exploration of space....JJ61
