To be honest, space travel has never interested me that much. I can appreciate the technical achievement of sending a rocket into space and the bravery of the astronauts, but I prefer to concentrate on terra firma and solving the many problems we have down here.
I am reminded of the Gil Scott-Heron song:
Still, I wish all the astronauts godspeed in whatever it is they’re doing, even though it was all done 60 years ago with less technology than is in a modern-day smartwatch.
I see they now have a woman and a black guy on the crew, so progress, I suppose.
I am sure many of you are more enthusiastic about another giant step for mankind, so I will let you all comment away.
