I spent most of the mid-day today listening to the History channel and it's take on the space program, from it's inception pre-WWII to today. It was really quite well done.
Of course, I was only able occasionally to WATCH it. But if it comes on again (which I'm sure it will) I'll be sure to watch.
The early space program has been my inspiration for many of the developments we've come up with.
They didn't know the meaning of, "It can't be done." I like that attitude.
