It turns out that because of a medical issue, I'll probably never get to go to space. For years I hoped that, like my hero Alan Shepard, I would outgrow it. But I've since resigned myself to a life here on Earth. It used to disappoint me, but my best friend told me something once that it took me a long time to believe: you don't have to be the president or an astronaut or have some powerfully huge job to make a difference in the world.
I imagine that many of you readers want to change the world, too. We can:
- Arm our legislators with facts so they can make good policy decisions.
- Speak out against injustice. Silence is the enemy.
- Provide the next generation with the tools to do amazing things.
