NASA’s Apollo 11, Mars 2020 have same goal, collect Samples
August 14, 2019 | 
Pasadena, CA – NASA’s Apollo 11 command module Columbia splashed down in the Pacific Ocean, fulfilling President John F. Kennedy’s goal to land a man on the Moon and return him safely to Earth on July 24th, 1969.
Among the mission’s many firsts was the acquisition and return of the first samples from another celestial body. Findings based on the 47 pounds (21.5 kilograms) of lunar rock and soil rewrote the textbooks on both the Moon and solar system, and the samples are still being studied today by researchers using new and more sensitive instruments.

NASA celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing
Houston, TX – NASA lands “Men Land On The Moon”.
Words such as these were emblazoned in dozens of languages on the front page of newspapers around the world, echoing the first part of President John F. Kennedy’s bold challenge to the nation, made more than eight years earlier – to land a man on the Moon.
That part was successfully accomplished on July 20th, 1969. The second part of the challenge, the safe return to Earth, would have to wait four more days.

NASA’s Voyage to Moon was Difficult but reaped Huge Benefits
Greenbelt, MD – When President John F. Kennedy said going to the Moon was hard, he wasn’t kidding
Much of the technology needed to get to the lunar surface and return didn’t exist at the time of Kennedy’s famous 1962 speech. And much was unknown. As NASA’s Apollo missions were being planned, there was concern that the lunar module might sink right into the surface or become stuck in it.

NASA looks to make Traveling by Personal Air Vehicle a Reality
NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center
Edwards, CA – There was a time when people and goods were moved through the crowded city on the ground, restricted to the busy street surfaces by necessity and gravity.
So, inspired visionaries considered new ways to get about town and dreamt of innovative flying machines that could safely transport passengers and ship cargo within the urban jungle by rising above the congestion below.
No, we’re not talking about the Wright Brothers in 1903.
This is the new era in air transportation that NASA and a community of government, industry and academic partners are working together on, right now.

Book Review: The Quickest Kid in Clarksville by Pat Zietlow Miller
Clarksville, TN – Wilma Rudolph, Clarksville’s runner extraordinaire, is the inspiration for Pat Zietlow Miller’s The Quickest Kid in Clarksville, a children’s book beautifully illustrated by Frank Morrison. Published in 2016 by Chronicle Books in San Francisco, it is a Junior Library Book selection.
Alta, a poor African American girl, dreams of running with Wilma Rudolph’s three gold medals around her own neck. Her shoes are full of holes that sometimes trip her as she runs, but she remembers that Rudolph was one of 22 children and had polio as a child.
