I didn't know that about Armstrong carrying some pieces of the Wright Bros plane. That's pretty cool.

In one lifetime, or a little less, we went from a rickety powered glider (essentially that's all the Wright Flyer was) made out of wood to landing humans on the Moon. Not once but 6 times. That is truly amazing

And in the next lifetime, we have found life on Uranus, Ron.

And yet we have gone no further, we can't even go there anymore. (let's not even add it it was all done with slide rules and lots and lots of pencils and paper)
