This is way off the beaten path for UMSF, but with the turn of yet another new year we all ain't getting any younger. YouTube is an astonishing resource, and I found this, the old "ABC Movie of the Week" theme, which a lot of U.S. fogies like myself (40+) will certainly remember. For those not familiar, the movie of the week was usually, well, lousy...but had some real gems as well in the mix such as Steven Spielberg's first film Duel and the unforgettable Trilogy of Terror with Karen Black; both of these were absolutely spellbinding. And, of course, probably the most heart-rending sports movie ever made, Brian's Song.

Also, partially in order to steer this post back into the realm of spaceflight, a beautiful nearly 10-minute capture of the launch of Apollo 11.

A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
