The Everson Crew is going to the Moon!

Ok...so maybe we aren't going to the moon for real - but we have been studying the planets, the sun and the moon and recently we had the opportunity to see a shuttle launch! Now....I am sure some of you are still questioning whether or not we have actually ever put a man on the moon or if it is one of the great media/government conspiracies - what do you think? Which will it be - one of man's greatest accomplishments or one of our societies most creative acts?

The shuttle launch this past week was incredible! As we sat on the hood of the car and watched the sky light up like broad daylight, the boys were dumbfounded! It was amazing to feel the rush of the engines heating up and then to watch as the fire lit up the sky....As we stood by waiting for the countdown to launch, we talked about what it must be like to be an astronaut at this moment - to sit and wait for that final moment before lift off - to see the Earth getting smaller and smaller and watch as you know that you have reached the "point of no return"....what must that incredible experience be like? What must it have been like to be a part of that first mission? Where were you? What were you thinking?

All this...just food for thought. If you ever have a chance to see a shuttle launch, make the most of it - it is over quickly but it is worth the effort!
