It was an amazing intellectual adventure. I can't help but wonder if this isn't the typical English sour grapes. Why not go to the moon? Why not go to Mars? You'll have a disparaging answer, I'm sure, but in a way I suppose that's why your ancestors never left the island.TShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04498620559362207533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-35525066138750442012009-07-20T21:08:14.013+01:002009-07-20T21:08:14.013+01:00I'm all for the Right Stuff Mark - v useful in...I'm all for the Right Stuff Mark - v useful in time of war - but for flying to the Moon?

They gave us The Right Stuff and without a bit of TRS life isn't up to much. I remember being taken outside by my parents that evening - the moon was clearly visible - and I thought it was pretty amazing.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06074816573442173758noreply@blogger.com
