“Because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills” - JFK ~ fifty-five years … and despite extraordinary leaps in the applications of technology, we have not returned to press that wondrous fall of moon dust … there are ghosts of those who gave their lives to the scientific exploration of the starry vault that is our heavenly crown, crying for the satiation of that thirst - and if and when we do return, I pray those phantoms are benevolent, that their crosses are upright, and their wistful, wandering spirits … at rest.

Hello Gregory, What a great read. I am old enough to have seen the Walk on the Moon live on TV. It does make you wonder why we have not returned to explore it. - Blessings, My Friend, Daniel
