It All Ends in Darkness. Darkness and Nothing.

There's a great little interview with Dr. Robert Jastrow who was the founder of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies at NASA on Tech Central Station. It's a really interesting look at how the space program came to be. It went from nothing to a plan to land on the moon almost overnight.

It sounds to me like Dr. Jastrow went from not knowing a whole lot about space to, quite literally, writing the book on it. How great must it be to have a job where your intellectual curiosity drives what you do? Heck, it didn't just drive what he did, it drove a whole nation. Amazing times.
