It funny. I wonder if 100 years from now if we will be talking about men like John Young, the way history talks about Lewis and Clarke, or Emila Earhart or Marco Polo etc. I hope so. All these modern men and women are amazing.

He fell through the cracks in my awareness but thats not hard to do.


Anyway.


Cool article.  I have been thinking lately that we we not be a multi-planet species.  We are really built to live on this planet; although we may not be built to sustain ourselves on this planet. 


There would have to be a planet with some pretty exacting conditions for us to colonize.
