"If the radiance of a thousand suns
were to burst into the sky
it would be like the splendor of the Mighty One.
I am become Death,
the Shatterer of Worlds" - Bhagavad Ghita.

Yet a higher goal was calling and we vowed to reach it soon
And we gave ourselves a decade to put fire on the Moon
And Apollo told the world we can do it if we try:
There was "One small step…"
And a fire in the sky!

Oh YES! Thank you for that. Today is the anniversary of Apollo 11's launch.
