We have always looked to the sky and, for a brief moment, mankind walked on a heavenly body other than earth. Ohio was at the heart of it all, pioneering the technology and sending our bravest into space.
As we near the 40th anniversary of the moon landing, we honor the Ohio men and women who dreamed of a journey beyond all others.
We celebrate the local companies that created products and solutions for America's space program. And we take a look back -- and alook forward -- at what the next missions mean to our region.
