     I, too, long for those days and feel the same fascination with space and
space travel that I did in my youth.  It may become "commonplace", but it's
still very interesting for me.

     How many have cut class or gotten up at 2 or 3 in the morning on a school
night and sneaked into the living room to watch a Ranger craft send pictures
back from the Moon?  At age ~8?

     Do any of the networks(CNN, etc.) announce times when they will be
covering these events so that they may be recorded on VCR for viewing at a
later time?
