In 1946, the first pictures from space, a hundred miles up. And now we've got cameras rolling around on the surface of Mars.

That's fantastic! I have never seen any of these before. I can still remember how exciting it was to see the last few pictures from the Ranger spacecraft before they would crash into the moon back in the early 60's.

Even with the technology today I am fascinated by photos from space. I cannot imagine what the feeling must have been like to see this back then. Mindblowing to say the least.

Air and Space Muesem has always been one of my favorite places in D.C.
I did several book reports on Robert Goddard.
Thanks for the article!
