#drsianproctorandneilarmstrong The Inspiration4 manned space flight is scheduled to splashdown in the Atlantic at 4:06 Pacific Time today. Netflix has an incredible documentary titled Countdown that I recommend for all to watch. It is fascinating and enlightening.
I want to share one incredible story with you that touched my heart. Let us go back to 1959 when NASA was just getting started. It was a sad time of strict racial segregation and brutal treatment of black people. Dr. Sian Proctor's father never had the money to go to college. He taught himself complex subjects like calculus, physics, engineering, etc. When he heard that NASA was hiring, he went over and applied for a job. Since he had no college degrees or experience in the aircraft industry, his chances of getting hired were small. He did not let this deter him. He applied for a job. He got the attention of one person. He took a battery of tests. This NASA employee was amazed at how good he did. He got a job offer.
NASA became his life. Some ten years later, he was at the intersection of a historical moment. He was on the island of Guam. He was at a NASA deep-space communications facility. As Apollo-11 was preparing to reenter the earth's atmosphere, it lost all contact with earth except for a deep-space tracking facility on Guam. Dr. Proctor's father found himself talking on the radio with Neil Armstrong. He gave Neil all the information that he needed to come through the atmosphere and splashdown in the Pacific. When Apollo 11 hit the Pacific Ocean, Mr. Proctor guided rescue helicopters to pick up the capsule and three astronauts. When Neil Armstrong got onto the USS Hornet, he felt deep gratitude to Mr. Proctor. He wrote him a personal thank you note. He asked US Navy personnel to make sure that the note got to Mr. Proctor on Guam.
Mr. Proctor was surprised and touched when he got the thank you note from Neil. It became a family treasure. When Dr. Proctor blasted off into space, the note was carried with her.
Continue with your hard work and preparations,

Yeah, okay. Literally everybody I talked to who was older than a teen at the time said it was a great time to be alive, including not a few Blacks. The first thing they didn't mention was racial segregation. Which is what many Blacks today want to go back to anyway.

Well, you pick up on cues from Bourgeois Globohomo Society pretty quick.

I took my doggie for a walk. He has brown fur. I threw the ball and he chased it. It was nice.

Damn, man.

His problem was he didn't go to Germany or Switzerland and pretend to be a ratlined Nazi. That would have gotten him past the velvet ropes a lot quicker with more seniority.
