I saw the Space Shuttle Enterprise in person in 1984 at the New Orleans World’s Fair. I only saw the outside, but for a 12 year old who’d grown up loving rockets, it was a huge thrill. Now the Space Shuttle program is ending. I hope there’s another crop of kids who’ll fall in love with the exhibits as well. It won’t be the same, because they’ll be looking at the past while I was looking at the future of space exploration, a future that, sadly, didn’t live up to my hopes for it.

Heard Yuri Gregorian last night at NPR … his recollections as an old man are illuminating….and did you ever see a wonderful film called “My Life as a Dog”(Sweden), there the young boy, to escape his troubled time (his mother is dying), projects himself off earth, imagining (and identifying with) that dog flying around in space.a meta metaphor for his own isolation. Yes, the kids will love it..he exhibition will be a great success for all who wish to leave the earth and explore the last frontier-the universe. Given the current condition of earth, not a bad idea.
