377<br />

The launch of Apollo 11 on July 16, 1969. On <strong>the</strong> essential character of this<br />

experience, Ray Bradbury wrote: “When <strong>the</strong> blast of a rocket launch slams you<br />

against <strong>the</strong> wall and all <strong>the</strong> rust is shaken off your body, you will hear <strong>the</strong> great shout<br />

of <strong>the</strong> universe and <strong>the</strong> joyful crying of people who have been changed by what<br />

<strong>the</strong>y’ve seen.” (NASA)
