Yeah, I had visions of all the stuff in 2001 coming true! Lots a luck for that one. We all had stars in our eyes in those days. Now here I sit at 67, with a lousy cold keeping me up drinking hot spiked Coffee in my “Screw Astonomers Pluto is a Planet” inscripted mug! How appropriate!
Oh and I’m going to ware my free Pluto t shirt tomorrow as well!
My dad was an aeronautical engineer and some of his work was involved with the space program. It was he who got me interested in space and the planets at a young age. It all started with standing in the yard one night watching brand-new Sputnik zoom overhead.
I read science fiction books and went to movies and just KNEW we were really going to do many of those things in my lifetime.
Then it all went ka-put. There are those who would like to build their own space programs but I won’t live long enough to see any of them come to fruition.
Bummer about your cold but I’m sitting here envious of that mug! LOL!
