This past summer, we celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. The first lunar landing was an extraordinarily complex, highly technical feat of human engineering and bravery, and while we remember it proudly, it is more than a little strange to celebrate a feat that we could do 40 years ago but cannot do today...

If space travel were once again important to Americans, maybe more children would be interested in pursuing careers in math, science, and engineering. Complex and difficult engineering and scientific endeavors cannot be accomplished without an educated workforce...
...sense of national pride, but they have also allowed us to reach across our borders and collaborate with other countries in spite of our diplomatic disputes. By creating an international space program, the U.S. has brought together many countries around the globe to work on a complex engineering project during peacetime.

Although he says that the Chumash people's traditions were "stripped" by the Spanish mission system that ruled California 200 years ago, Talaugon believes that the arborglyph...
