Perhaps time to reflect-
Talk about being able to get things done.  A piece of one of the greatest engineering achievements in history.

    Thanks for the reminder. It was truly a great accomplishment that was just the beginning.  Spent the last couple days in Dayton with Mama Birds parent. Went to Carillion park.  What a great display of the innovation that came from the Dayton area. Unbelievable to think about the number of inventions that were generated there.

    Last weeks' Time magazine had an interview with Apollo 8's three astronauts, they're in their 80's/90's but still kicking (and funny as hell); just read it today.  I was too young to understand the political pressure, and the engineering risks, that Apollo 8 was under back then, Wow!
    Great thread, Cap'n!

    We (my company) have a building in Clear Lake City South of Houston that had one of the astronaut centrifuges for the apollo program.  The centrifuge is long gone but the block of concrete is still there and it is massive going deep underground.

    My Dad worked on the Apollo missions.  He has some mind numbing stories.  When Nola was diapered.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.
