40th Anniversary

40 years have passed since the launch of Apollo 11 proving how difficult and expensive space exploration really is. We haven't really accomplished too much since that exciting day although yesterday we set a record for the most people in space at one time. A total of 13 are currently orbiting our earth. I am still completely fascinated by it though...and I suppose I'll always be intrigued when looking at our night sky.

It's the geek in me. What can I say? If you've got kids this would be great...you can even print out a certificate for them once you've completed it! Check out Nasa's website. I know you secretly want to be a part of history too! :-P

A galactic year, also known as a cosmic year, is the duration of time required for the solar system to orbit once around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. Estimates of the length of one orbit range from 225 to 250 million earth years.

Whoa...that is one serious calendar!
