James Lileks:
I wonder if we can embrace a big idea again. The moon shot was nonpartisan – Kennedy dialed the number, Nixon talked to the astronauts. Politics stopped at the ionosphere’s edge; it was an American gambit. I’d like to think we can do that again. I want to watch the Moon Channel with my daughter in 2010.
I want my child to look at the night sky and always think: this is the beginning. This is square one. More, please; faster.
Amen to that. Read the whole thing.
