Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon, has passed away at 82. America has lost the greatest leader of the Space Age. Armstrong's words are immortal: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
Armstrong led America against the Soviets in the moon race. When he stepped on lunar dust on July 20, 1969, he fulfilled John F. Kennedy’s promise to put a man on the moon by the end of the 1960’s. Apollo 11 left a plaque which read, “We Came in Peace for All Mankind.” It reflects humanity’s aspiration for peace throughout the cosmos.
Armstrong will be sorely missed.

Decatur Book Festival - September 2
I'll be presenting Other Life Exists at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Decatur Book Festival on Sunday, September 2 at 3:00pm. I'll give listeners a glimpse into the newest world of Jupiter's moons. Europa alone holds twice the saltwater of Earth. Ganymede and Callisto hold oceans, too. The radiation levels of Earth and Callisto are about the same, so many hope for human colonization.
One of NASA’s big questions is whether life lives beyond Earth. Other Life Exists proves statistically that microbes live in Europa.
Natasha Trethewey, Michael Connelly, Erin Morgenstern, Meg Cabot, Isabel Wilkerson, and some 300 other authors will attend. The fun begins August 31st at 8pm.
