Worf, thanks for taking the time to bring deserved respect to a true pioneer of space exploration.

Hard to fathom just how huge a leap forward the space program was. So many unknowns and so many dangers, yet also incredible sense of wonder that anything was possible.

Gotta love these old NASA documentaries ...
