Fun night for ‘Stargazing at the Arch’ at Gateway Arch National Park with the St. Louis Astronomical Society. Great views of the moon and stars and many appreciative star partiers. Met great folks from Brazil, India, and Vietnam.

Fifty-six years ago today I was 4 weeks shy of my 11th birthday. At one point I went to the neighborhood pool. A neighbor brought a portable TV and we watched the broadcast of the landing. That night I got to stay up late to witness history. I’ve been a space nerd ever since.
