A Giant Leap for Mankind

I read a poem called,” The Moon Ground” by James Dickey. This poem was written in, “To the Moon and Back” from the 1969 Life special edition magazine. This poem describes the curious wonders of the moon and space. It describes how they felt free as a bird and light as a feather. “We will take back the very Stones of Time, and build it where we live”. These astronauts went to space in search of answers to our many questions of the moon. They brought back samples of rocks and earth to test and experiment with. Armstrong, Collins, and Aldrin were the guinea pigs of their generation; they were willing to give up everything for the advancement and protection of the world. The Eagle has landed. What life holds in store for us, nobody knows. Our destiny is as mysterious as the icy ocean. As long as we believe, the impossible is still possible.
