Yesterday I saw the impressive new Apollo 11 movie, and last night I again watched the 1994 documentary Apollo 13: To The Edge and Back. A few weeks back I posted about some new coin purchases, including the Apollo 11 commemorative half dollar and dollar coins.
So yes, the old government-run space program has been on my mind lately.
Yes, the ships and their fragility, and the genius of the engineers, and the bravery of the astronauts, and the beauty of the flights, have all weighed greatly in my thoughts lately. A nagging piece of trivia, though, invades that reverie, and that's the fact that no one born after 1935 has walked on the moon.
