1000 times if I could.

This is great news! I remember those days although I was not even 10 yet. I remember how good it felt to know there were good, exciting and new things ahead. Striving for better things is never a bad thing. Being told that you can't have it is never a good thing.

Remember watching the launches? Man were those exciting national events.

Letting people strive as hard as they want to strive is a very good thing for all of us and knowing that if you just do the things you can to make a good life will not put you on the street is also a good thing.

Very good post, thank you.
