Former President John F. Kennedy said, “We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.”

We went to the moon because we wanted to stretch our human capabilities beyond what we considered possible. The stars beyond are lampposts on a journey of discovery we are destined to take. “First Man” reminds us that journey comes not without sacrifice, but as the glory of the galaxy shines all around us when we take that first step into the unknown, we know the legacy of those we lost will rest among the stars.
