Once away from the brighter lights of the buildings, I found a grassy spot and lay on my back looking at the moon, which was a bit more than half-full and waning, and wondered at what man had just accomplished. I found tears streaming down the sides of my face as I was overwhelmed with the wonder of it all and knew that I wanted more than anything to report on space exploration.
