Okay, pause! Let's forget about all this for now.
We'll come back to this part later. First, let me tell you about
life back then. It was a great time and place to be a kid. Living in the Houston area
in the late '60s, and especially near NASA, was like being
where science fiction was coming to life. The optimistic technological future
was now, and we were at the absolute center
of everything new and better. Leading the way was,
of course, the space program. The goal of going to the moon
had been declared when President Kennedy gave his speech
at Rice University in Houston. But why, some say, the moon?
