"The medicines of another time, the balm of sun and idle August afternoons, the faintly heard sounds of ice wagons passing on brick avenues, the rush of silver skyrockets and the fountaining of lawn mowers moving through ant countries, all these, all these in a glass." - Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine
Thinking of the three pioneers of space (each in their own way) that we've lost this year -
Ray Bradbury
Sally Ride
Neil Armstrong

And Janice E. Voss
And Janice E. Voss.
Wow. I had never heard of her.
And William P. Thurston.
He was a pioneer of space too in his own way.
Sounds like it! What a strange and fascinating sounding gentleman. He must have been a great person to have as a teacher.
Now, I wish I could fit Phyllis Diller in here too. She did dress like she was from space...
