...didn't imagine she would still be standing. Her face swollen behind dark sunglasses, using Chelsea as a human shield between her and the man who'd just been outed by a blue dress, she barely spoke to anyone, least of all to him. There was no celebrity-clogged birthday dinner, no golf, no singing Gershwin around the piano as in years past. It was, officially, a "healing" vacation, broken up by speeches asking for forgiveness.

It is likely that I was more concerned with my birthday presents than with the historic event, but after visits to the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral, Fla., I began looking at the moon with different eyes. Instead of a round circle in the sky, I see the hopes, dreams, blood, sweat and tears of the people who brought the space program to life.
