    Ya know for the time period it is amazing what the accomplished. From the time JFK stated we were going there it only took 8 yrs. NPR all week has been highlighting what some of the local companies had done to make this happen. To hear the videos from take off to touch down and also the astronauts thanking everybody to make it happen. I am proud.
