The real legacy of the Apollo program is much more than flags and footprints. The spectacular achievements of the Moon program stirred the imagination of an entire generation. We will soon live in a world where no living human has set foot on another world. Imagine if Columbus returned from the New World...and no one followed in his footsteps. It's time to look outward again, and inspire the next generation to reach for unimaginable goals. That's where true progress comes from. I hope that ECHOES OF APOLLO will help to move this idea forward by reminding us of what was once possible, and force us to ask the question "when will mankind leave home again?"
