In Memory of John Young

After a weekend full of hockey, I sat down Sunday evening to take a look at the news I had missed for the last few days. After filtering through all the news about the Bills and something about an awards show, I saw that John Young died. Who was John Young?

31 Years Ago...

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.
