From ancient times, people have cast their eyes skyward and dreamed of dancing among the stars. These dreams were first steps to realizing the idea. Who first dared the dream?

Was it she, an early Greek philosopher seeking a stairway to the gods? Was it he, a Dogon priest of West Africa who, while tending the skies one night, spotted a rare star and called it Sirius B, "egg of the world" - a little star of great importance? Who that first person was, we can't recall. But the dream was shared and tended through the ages into reality.

Come, let's Journey to the Moon...and Beyond.
