Discoveries

On this day in history, in 1968, 37 years ago, Apollo 8, the first man mission to the moon, returned safely to Earth after a six-day journey. That was a great feat of planning, engineering, and bravery. The thought goes through my mind as to the cost and energy that the world has been put into space exploration. There is no doubt that they have been discoveries and some usefulness of technologies that have been beneficial to mankind, but could the world have used those resources for greater benefits. I am not a negative type of person but sometimes have thoughts like that.
