I’m 66 years old, and I swear to God, I still get as excited as I did when I was a kid when I see astronauts returning from space. It amazes me that we have gone from shooting Laika the dog into space (one way) to regularly traveling outside the bounds of our atmosphere.



I am hopeful that regular space travel for us earth dwellers will be a real thing that my grandchildren will see during their lifetime.



Slipping the surly bonds of earth is something that we need. I think it will make us appreciate what we have here more than we do and, hopefully, our future space program efforts will continue to advance science.
