NASA/Space Junkies

[The Poet]

I've never had the personal privilege of witnessing a launch, but am old enough to remember the good ol' days, of Sputnik, Vanguard, and Explorer. I recall sitting in grade-school class, listening to Mercury launches like Alan Shepard's and John Glenn's flights on the radio, along with the entire nation I feel sure.

Seems like today it's too blase an attitude we have with such endeavors.
