God but I wanted to be an astronaut when I was a kid!!!!!!!!
I'll think of those fuzzy images I saw as a small child, and I'll sigh a few times.
And then I'll probably wonder why it takes so darn long before humans go there again.
Back then it was all part of the race between the USA and the USSR. When that race was won, it just all stopped and we never went back there.
...And by the time that bottle is empty, I'll probably have come to the conclusion that IF at all it ever happens in my lifetime, I'll be an old man before I'll see astronauts walk the surface of the moon again....
