“For the eyes of the world now look into space, to the moon and to the planets beyond, and we have vowed that we shall not see it governed by a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of freedom and peace. We have vowed that we shall not see space filled with weapons of mass destruction, but with instruments of knowledge and understanding. Yet the vows of this nation can only be fulfilled if we in this nation are first, and, therefore, we intend to be first.” —John F. Kennedy (1917-1963), 35th US president, speech at Rice University, 1962 Sep. 12
Leading to today’s zen question of the day: If we can put a man on the Moon, why can’t we put a man on the Moon?

Minor correction: The Russians crashed their moon probe, leaving a crater.

I hear the Russians are pretty aggressive at parking their rovers. Kaboom! ;)
