wings of glory


Was man ever meant to fly? Had we been born with leathery wings, would we too fly into the setting sun. Was man's fascination with flight the result of so much conflict here on the ground. Indeed, the further Icarus flew, the farther he fell. 

When I look back from my escape module and see the blue earth below, I will not be sorry. Was it just a matter of time before we could build something to escape the pull of Earth's gravity? 

It will only be a matter of time before we wish we were back on solid ground.
