The Babyboomer's Guide to Saving the Galaxy with History

as witnessed by Ira H. Gallen

"Unity of Body, Soul, and Mind "- Elon Musk

Great mind’s think alike as I’ve glanced at similar words, Body, Mind, and Spirit , since I was sixteen years old, written to me in a letter by the first American to orbit the earth Astronaut John H. Glenn Jr., in 1966.

I created a High School newspaper called “World Affairs”, where I took my fascination of history to show that its study, like reading comics will give my generation a better understanding of how to approach their future after graduating, which warranted America’s pioneering space explorer to present his thoughts on my approach in a two page letter:

A Past to Draw On

( I'm 16 Year Old standing by my autographs

and letters sent to me by Astronauts, Scientists, and NASA Personal, among others) I'm 73 years old now

By the time I was 13 years old I knew why I was put on this earth and that was too be an astronaut.

How do you become an astronaut?

How do rockets work?

You couldn't just go to your local bookstore or library and ask for information on the space program because it just didn’t exist.

So I wrote to everyone the newscasters and newspaper reporters did stories about.

“In education, we are really condensing the best experience that has been gained over thousands of years, so we might look at education as an “encapsulated experience” that we get for free, without having to make all the original experiments ourselves. This gives us the best of the past to build on, and is as necessary a launch pad for modern living as the Cape Kennedy launch pads”.
