Old Man with a Hat
Well they set foot on the moon July 20th. I will be down on the Hornet that day and the ship will be filled with visitors from NASA and other science related places giving talks about the mission and possibly future missions. For those who don't remember the Hornet picked up both Apollo 11 and 12.
As for going to Mars that will be interesting. Interesting to me concerning the lack of gravity for long durations. I know that without gravity to keep blood down in your legs it then accumulates in the head. This accumulation damages the blood vessels that help control fluid pressure in the eyes for one. High eye pressure is called glaucoma. A month ago, after finishing my work on the Hornet, I was relaxing at the security brow around 1800 hours. There is an event that night and the speaker was walking up the brow. It was Scott Kelly who walked on and we all nodded and then I asked "how are the eyes?" He had a quizzical look and the security guy next to me said I was our resident eye doctor. He then nodded saying better.
