Sometimes there are moments that slap you right in the face of the realization of the amount of time that has passed. When I was a kid, I was a huge space nerd. I wanted to be an astronaut, exploring new worlds, and living the the adventures of my favorite science fiction novels. I watched the very first launch of the Space Shuttle Columbia back in 1981 from the cafeteria at Washington Hunt. The Right Stuff was one of my favorite movies.
