Why does space and exploring space excite me.

Tonight is we watched going to the moon in 1969. Watching it was exciting. I remember watching it and getting excited. I don't remember the last time this country was excited about much of anything. It seems for so long we have been talking about negative issues. The economy is awful, war is all around us, health care or lack of it, horrible housing situations. I don't know how long it can go on. We need to look at something that is extraordinary. Back in 69 it was walking on the moon. Today I don't know. But we need this. We need hope. We need dreams. We need to get our imaginations excited.Plus we need to see all this happen. We need the possibilities and see the possibilities realized
