Next stop Mars...

(This has absolutely nothing to do with art or design-- I just think it's very cool!)

Today may be the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, but Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins aren't looking back. Yesterday the astronauts voiced their desire to send men to Mars, not back to the moon. While President Obama endorsed George Bush's plan to return to the moon, a panel of experts have been asked to reconsider that goal. Perhaps we'll see a Mars landing by Apollo's 50th anniversary?



(Please see my previous post to view Walter Cronkite's coverage of this event back in 1969.)
