Two Anniversaries
Tuesday July 20, marks the 35th anniversary of when humans first made landfall on another world.
 

NASA
 
The day when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed the Eagle on the lunar surface and then Armstrong took that famous "Giant Leap" was one of the great moments in history. Here is the Apollo 11 page of the National Air and Space Museum, plus some interesting commentary by Rand Simberg and Mark Whittington. This anniversary comes with a renewed Vision for Space Exploration.
 
The other anniversary is not quite so momentous for humanity. Last year on the 34th Apollo 11 anniversary, I launched this humble blog. While a busy life and slow typing fingers keep me from covering every event or topic I'd like, this past year has been quite a ride.
 
September brought, among other things, Hurricane Isabel. October include the first Chinese astronaut and the critical point in the ongoing grassroots fight for the life of Terri-Schindler-Schiavo, (perhaps the Internet's finest hour). January was a particularly busy month, with probes exploring Mars & a comet while President George W. Bush heralded a new initiative for exploring space. Meanwhile, also check the January archive for my essay on Why we March for Life each year.
 
It's getting late and my memory is blurring on more recent events I've covered, but look forward for another exciting year of Faith, Life, Liberty & the Final Frontier.
