If you are my age you can remember as a young child watching the television and watching the Apollo crews countdown to lift off from earth and then just a few days later watch the moon landing. Not long after that we remember looking up and watching the Sky Lab glide along in the sky circling overhead. And now we watch another era of space travel come to an end with the Space Shuttle.
Getting something of that big off the ground takes a group of qualified scientists and engineers to make it possible. It is the same way in ministry. It takes a large team of people to make it happen. It's prayer warriors paving the way spiritually. It's financial people giving to provide the resources needed. It's those that are on the ground working through every possible scenario to be sure that the launch is successful.
The one thing that hasn't changed through the years at NASA is the fact that each time one of these rockets manned or unmanned take to the heavens, there is a team of people that makes it possible. I want you to watch this video someone sent me. It's an incredible time lapsed footage of a space shuttle launch. As you watch this, remember the hundreds of people that it took to get that bird off of the ground. Amazing and incredible.
