It is a joy looking at the future.
On page 6, a lead in to the description to the "Cosmic View", at the Smithsonian says, "The mission to the moon placed humankind on the pathway to the stars."
I hope that proves to be true.
We are going to Washington D.C - Virgina at the end of the March and I hope we get to see some of Robert McCall's paintings at the Smithsonian.

Just inside the entrance to the National Air and Space Museum is a multi-story mural. In its center, a fully suited Apollo astronaut gazes out at museum-goers, lunar dust suspended in the air around his boots. To the astronaut’s left, is the artist’s swirling depiction of the Big Bang Theory on the creation of the universe. And to his right, is a lunar rover and the Apollo lunar lander, its gold foil glimmering.

I was just beginning to think that going to SPACE would be the Future.I would see.
Now there is some confusion as to what the path will be.
Just what will be funded is not clear.
Many stories are being debated.
We need to follow just what Congress will approve.

I will study Robert McCall's paintings and see what was the vision for the future and hope we find our way to space sooner rather than later.
Do you know the way?
I bought some paint.
Maybe I will have to create my own vision.
