Space Program

I've been listening to a news conference since Discovery has landed.

One of the things that was said (wish I knew his name), was that from the first Viking ships that were put into the water until now where we can fill up a HUGE oil tanker and sail it half way across the world, and almost always get it there safe has taken thousands of years.

The Space program is around 50 years old.

Sometimes I think people forget that it's not been around for forever.
