Live and love
From the sight of the moon, our planet displays fully the beauty of blue color and the shape of the universe. It shows us that we all live and love in one restless village with a calm image.

Extended our vision and dream
Amazing! It extended our vision and dream. Even if it's not true. After apollo missions we can see ourselves more objectively. Don't you think so?

Overwhelming
The Apollo missions were daring, brave, and exciting. The mementos and vast new fields of knowledge were legacy enough (the whole world has been changed by seeing photos of itself!), but the best product is the overwhelming sense of hope!

Courage ...
Courage to benefit all of mankind, that's what our Apollo missions are all about. It's part of what makes America great and a country to emulate.

The nourishment of experience
The moon missions opened new boundaries, both physical boundaries and boundaries of the human soul. Human beings require the nourishment of new experience and hope for the future. This was certainly one of the greatest experiences of our lifetime.

Their leap of faith
Without the courage, committment, and tenacity of the few to accept a challenge; man's quest to explore, learn, and step beyond himself would never have resulted in the adventurous, wonderful and powerful changes wrought in human civilization. Those few, the pioneers, who risked all, so that the many later, could benefit and follow their leap of faith. One small step, a step of faith, has always led the many who follow to new frontiers, frontiers that in the long run have led to developments that have benefitted all of us!

Looking for adventure
As they say on Star Trek "Space - the final frontier". Only our forefathers had a similiar experience navigating an unknown and dangerous country, looking for adventure. The astronauts of the Apollo Mission were truly heroes.

Awed by the wonder
Space travel is the one thing that the entire world can relate to as a shared experience - not that we've all been there, done that - but that we have seen the pictures, watched the launches, and been awed by the wonder of it all. The Apollo Missions were the first tantalizing taste the world had of an "actual place" outside our tiny planet. How can anything be as amazing as that ever again?

Too bad there isn't an 'earthcam'
This shining triumph of mankind's voyage to the moon will always remain a true reminder of our capacity to work for the good of all humanity and the blue planet. It may be that the most significant discovery of the voyages to the moon was the view of the fragile planet with the thin layer of atmosphere that is Earth in space. Too bad there isn't an 'earthcam' on the moon to provide us with continual reminders of how beautiful and precious Earth is. But we have the Apollo missions to thank for expanding our consciousness beyond the limits of the ground horizon to the infinite vistas of the universe. Mars is next!
