Mankind has done some fantastic things in the last one hundred or so years. We started with a double-wing small-engine aircraft that flew a few feet, to massive space craft that could carry a couple of semi-truck loads of equipment into space and hang it there to add to the lights of our night sky.… Continue reading The Big Blue Ball
