We re-watched “From the Earth to the Moon” today. Epe and I tend to pay the most attention to the episodes that show the engineers working which shouldn’t be a big surprise to anyone ;). I generally feel the same way after we finish watching it. A little sad, a little depressed, but mostly I feel disappointed that we have let so much time slip by between then and now with no repeat of these great journeys.

To be clear I’m not discounting the incredible work and science that has gone on with the probes, landers, gritty raw science!!, hubble, and ISS work that has gone on in the interim (including the massive earth side parts of those projects), I love it and hit the NASA sites regularly for updates. Partly because the nerd/sci-fi in me needs to keep up with the technology, and partly because it feels so good to see progress in building the door to the rest of the universe.

(we should be in outerspace, eff the non believers, teleport me off this rock rant deleted)
