Sometimes we need a break. We
need to stop watching TV, stop surfing the internet, stop writing, and stop
shopping online. Tonight, do that. Go outside and look up at the universe.
When was the last time you
looked up at the night sky?
I've always been fascinated with
space exploration and the universe. I grew up surrounded by the space program
and have always had my eyes toward the stars. Yuri Gagarin became the first
human to enter space and did so before I entered the world. I also missed the
first US Astronaut, Alan Shepard, and his fifteen-minute flight into space.
