A blog is merely an electronic blank sheet. What one does with that can really be anything. A blog could be a diary, a place to spew venom, or a place exercise the freedom of expression. But dare I say most personal blogs are just cheap, vanity press?In pondering the importance of the space program in my life, I realized that many of the students that I'm currently teaching are around 20 years old. This means the first steps on the moon occurred fifteen years before they were born. It's a fair bet that the event, although historic, does not hold a fascination for them.
It was important for me, however. I was within days of turning 10 years old. The hop off the ladder onto lunar soil happened on July 20, 1969 and my birthday is on the 23rd.
With geeky glasses and the nerdy hair, I guess the love of space was inevitable!
