Sputnik

There was something very optimistic about the era of early space exploration that we seem to be missing now. The excitement of Sputnik circling the globe in 1957 to the moon landing in 1969, so many people were focused on the skies and technology was growing by leaps and bounds. I'm always curious about people who aren't fascinated by this expansive void over our heads that we still know so little about. I like the fact that things are unknown either on foreign planets or within our own oceans, but I like them because it leaves something to be discovered and I want it to be discovered. I love learning about new species and hearing speculation about the Mars rover. I suppose I'm really curious about people who aren't curious and I have a strange nostalgia for an era when people seemed to be more curious...
