Fourty Years Ago Tonight 0 Minutes ago  
I just wanted to take a moment and mention that fourty years ago on Christmas Eve 1968 humans left home (Earth) for the first time and visited another world.

For those of us old enough to witness the event on television I can say I know how Columbus felt seeing the New World.

Details of the event can be found here:

Merry Christmas to all of our motoring friends.

Jack and Laurie

You know, it doesn't seem so long ago!

I spent a lot of last summer reading books about the Mercury, Gemini & Apollo space programs. I still want to be an astronaut!
