This December marks 44 years since the Apollo 8 orbited the moon for the first time. The journey included a radio silent orbit around the backside of the moon less than a 100 miles above the surface. This accomplishment will go down as one of America's greatest moments witnessed by a television audience. A collective and bold determination by men and women dedicated to the greatness of America and its purpose in this world.
What has happened to that America? At that time we were racing the Russians. We outpaced the Russians and became world leaders in the Space Program. These days we are hitching a ride with the Russians to the International Space Station because we cannot afford the investment.
In 1968 , America took a huge step forward as a world leader and we prooved that there was no task that we could not conquer. Today, America struggles to avoid a financial disaster, one that the world has not seen. A spending machine out of control and out of touch with history. In 1968 God allowed us to sit in his front yard and look back at earth. In 2012 we face challanges that can only be conquered by men collectively with the will of God.
