Subject: RE: Reach for the stars.... Half century 12 April 2011
I was fascinated at the first moon landing but not the mission that followed after. Things started to go wrong during the mission, Tom Hanks was in the film. Infact it wasn't until things started to go wrong that it actually caught my attention I was a teen and not interested in watching the same thing all over again. Now I see it so differently after watching the Space Shuttle Crash, I hope I never see another disaster like that again ever, it brought it home that these were real people more so than had gone before. Possibly because there were women onboard as well, not meaning to sound sexist but seeing them waving before setting off, it just felt so very different.
