The way to love someone
is to lightly run your finger over that person's soul
until you find a crack,
and then gently pour your love into that crack.

Dauntless




The Douglas SBD Dauntless was manufactured from 1940 to 1944. 
It is famous for delivering the fatal blows to the Japanese carriers
at the Battle of Midway in June 1942

Apollo 11

"Fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to explore in peace will stay on the moon to rest in peace. These brave men, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, know that there is no hope for their recovery. But they also know that there is hope for mankind in their sacrifice. 
"These two men are laying down their lives in mankind's most noble goal: the search for truth and understanding. They will be mourned by their families and friends; they will be mourned by their nation; they will be mourned by the people of the world; they will be mourned by a Mother Earth that dared send two of her sons into the unknown.

Funny, I was just reading about space travel today, and about the International Space Station, which has has a crew up there for 15 years, 15 years that I haven't given it a thought. And there were space stations before that, and I forget that they aren't just in "Star Wars," etc...It's weird!
