100 words | to the moon!

Today I got to do something I always enjoy when visiting DC, peruse the Air and Space museum. I never gave much thought to what an amazing feat going to the moon really was until today. When JFK stood at the podium in 1961 and announced the US goal of landing a man on the moon before the end of the decade, nobody at nasa had even checked to see if it was really possible. It was simply amazing, nobody knew, but the president said it will be done within the decade, so they made it happen. It's just amazing.
