This Was Very Moving

Wow. Just wow.

A while back, I was quite skeptical that we would ever be able to safely grant Stephen Hawking a trip into space. Peter Diamandis founder of the X Prize, retells the story below and I for one was grateful that Dr. Hawking’s dream was realized.

Thanks, Gary for sending me the link to this site. There are wonderful videos on this site as well, so make sure you take a look.

    Kate, that is fabulous, thanks for finding and sharing it. Darn, I think I’ve got something in my eye – can you pass the kleenex? The expression on Hawking’s face is amazing – I’m glad he got to experience moments of such pure joy in his lifetime.
