It was fifty years ago yesterday Man finally made it to the Moon. Eventually, people will return. Though should wolves of the two-legged variety do so as well, there'll be another breakthrough moment.

Yuri's Night 2018

Thursday evening on April 12 was "Yuri's Night," an international celebration of the anniversary of the first manned mission in space. Although at the time it was seen as a defeat for the American space program as the United States was engaged in the Cold War with the Soviet Union, in years since it has been come to seen as a triumph for all of humanity.
