If we are focused Having the one pointedness to work towards it Unswayed by distractions Undaunted by challenges Matched by determination and unrelenting confidence. Which force can dare stop us? Good morning, writers! 😊 "If we know only one kind of life, we are extremely limited in our understanding even of that kind of life." - Carl Sagan Did you know? 🌸 Two men were about to land on the moon, and Mission Control in Houston was thrumming with tension. For several days after the launch of Apollo 11, they had monitored the astronauts' vitals, keeping a close check on their heart rates. However, when the command module had looped around to the moon's far side, they were out of reach of radio communication. During this period of silence, the module slowed down and slipped into the moon's orbit on this very day in 1969. ❤️ As the astronauts succumbed to the gravity of another world, Neil Armstrong's heart rate was 106, Buzz Aldrin's 70 and Michael Collins's a cool 66. The crew would loop around the moon a dozen more times before one spacecraft became two. As Armstrong and Aldrin descended in the Eagle module,the faint tug of the moon's gravity greeted them. Their arms sagged, legs settled within their suits and their feet pressed downward.
