For every generation, there is a time and place when you know exactly where you were and what you were doing.

Today, fifty years later, the United States finally has plans to return to the Moon. The new program is called Artemis. In Greek mythology, Artemis is the twin sister of Apollo and goddess of the Moon.
Every year the Ohio State Fair carves a cow, a calf and a notable person from butter.
