COLUMBUS DAY IS OVER BUT THE COLOMBIAN EXCHANGE CONTINUES

Today we will begin a series of posts on the lessons from the European age of sea exploration and lessons that we might learn from that period in history which could help us avoid mistakes  as we continue to explore outer space, particularly with missions that bring back soil samples and land in the sea. 

The National Anthem today is presented by an unknown group, a full chorus with instrumental back up and wonderful images of American land marks
