Thanks Rob.
One of my earliest memories is the Christmas Eve broadcast of the Apollo 8 crew reading from Genesis.
Just kinda stuck with me...

A nice piece, and an event worth commemorating for sure. To me it's a huge disappointment that our space program is almost non-existant right now. That would be one thing I'd gladly pay a little more taxes for if it went to the right sources and scientific research.
