Ron Craig has been a passionate space enthusiast since he was a small child. If he could pinpoint a single moment in the past which really stands out as the.. OMG Space is AWESOME moment it would have to be on that fated day, many years ago in high school when he came across the hard cover edition of Pale Blue Dot by Carl Sagan! It was all looking up from there!
