I watched Apollo astronauts Neil Armstrong and Eugene Cernan, in
space.com today and it was sad.

So sad it made me cry.

Amstrong's hands were trembling when he spoke softly. And I remembered
those days of 69 when everything seemed possible and he proved it
before all mankind as we watched him step into another planet.

I remembered my grandfather, the same that told me that he paid
big money in his youth to go to a show to see a machine heavier than
the air take off and fly over the rooftops.

And he could see, before he died, that a man stepped into a machine
heavier than the air and flew to the moon. And all that came in
a second, when I saw Amstrong and Cernan with their hair all white
(as mine) plead for returning to space, keeping on that dream.

But nothing goes any more in this era of greed.

Space is just not profitable.
