There are just so many things to juxtapose in this story against today's American society.

Overall it leaves you with the feeling of something lost that you may never gain again.

I remember exactly where I was at the time.

A truly moving moment!

Would the ACLU have sued them today?

The hospital was closed to visitors. My wife was in delivery mode and I was sitting at home waiting for the doctor's call. I watched the Apollo 8 coverage. As the crew finished their bible broadcast the phone rang. I had a daughter and both Mom and child were doing fine.

The next day when I visited them I was so excited. I had the perfect name for my daughter.

APPOLONIA!

Alas my wife was not a space geek.

To this day I call my daughter Lisa "My most Appy" girl friend!

I dont cry easily...but while driving with my college buddies to a movie, back 42 years ago, it was being broadcast live on the radio...it was so amazing, that it brought a tear to my eye.

and it repeats the effect, evertime I hear it.

“Without form and void” also describes Zero’s birth certificate. Thanks KD, and a happy new year.
