  • I love to see ...

    I love to see lauches into space. I was born too late to be a part of the apolo missions. My earliest memories was one of the saddest in history. I was in the 4th grade and our teacher turned on the TV so we could watch the space shuttle Challenger cary a teacher into space. Somehow when watching the tragedy my brain new what happened even before my eyes finished sending the signal to my brain. I new then as a 4th grader as I do now. With great ambition there is great triuph and great loss.
