Happy Stupid Heart Day.

Fair warning...

Someone posted this comic book ad from 1985....
I remember when this was something that was full of hope and not full of fear. This is really one of the things that can make me genuinely angry. I remember watching shuttle launches in awe and not in fear. It seems a shame that we got scared and backed off and now we don't even seem to care.
Damn, I wanted to go to Space Camp when I was younger. When I lived in Japan I went to a space exposition thing... I still have the medal I got.
I don't really know what my point is here but the intensity of the reaction I had to seeing this meant that I had to share. It is, in a way, a commentary on everything right now. Maybe it is a part of getting older too but I miss feeling full of hope and awe. While I don't feel full of fear all the time, there is a lot more of it than there used to be.
