I moved to Florida a couple of years ago and always wanted to see a space shuttle lift-off. We decided to go to New Smyrna which is just 30 miles from Cape Canaveral to see if we could get a good view. I have to tell you  that when I saw the glow come from the horizon, I was not alone in my awe. There were hundreds on the beach with us shouting and yelling to cheer on the astronauts. Then, we all heard it, the pop of the stage separation. So cool and indescribable!  But even cooler was seeing the rocket stream turn into a ribbon of color during the simultaneous western sunset. I thought to myself, if we can put a man in space, create space shuttles, and do it successfully like we did that day, why can't we solve the human needs we see on the ground. I don't want to minimize the money spent on the space program, but how, after trillions spent, can we still have the problems we do? I want the beauty of this photo to be a reminder to anyone reading this of how we must not give up because you and I have more innovative ability inside each one of us to change whatever needs people have. And it doesn't take a rocket scientist. It only takes a desire, a little courage, and some good ole sweat equity to reach out and help someone. Discovery can inspire us to reach higher.
