More relevant, to me, is the 14th. That's the day they left. Earlier
this year, I noted that July 20th was Eagle 33, the 33rd anniversary
of the day men came to the moon. The 14th will be Challenger 30, the
30th anniversary of the day men left the moon, never yet to return.

The people who are credible are credible partially because they
*don't* talk about going back to the moon. We have to get to orbit
first; before that, we have to get to space. One thing at a time.
