I was born in August '64; which means that I was conceived in the month
Mr Kennedy was murdered. I only found that out a couple of years ago.
I'm not one for omens, but considering my love of all-things-space, it's
quite a coincidence. Mr Kennedy was responsible for starting the Apollo
program and was also something of a 'space junkie'.


Being a teenager in 60's almost required a fixation
on the space program. We could name all the astronauts,
watched every liftoff and splashdown and watched the sky
at sunset and dawn for satellites going overhead. A great
distraction from the otherwise bad news of the day, race
riots, Vietnam, the Cold War, et al.
