Robert Zubrin on Apollo 11 Anniversary
“The Apollo 11 moon landing was a grand event, but there is a bittersweet quality to our celebration of it today. It’s as if the U.S. Army had no victories to celebrate since Appomattox. We shouldn't be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Moon landing right now. We should be celebrating the 18th birthday of the first child born on Mars. Let us resolve that in July 2069 we have many more recent epic deeds to celebrate.”
Dr. Robert Zubrin, President & Founder, The Mars Society
