On my bookshelf, alongside Terry Pratchett novels and movie-related tomes, sits Andrew Chaikin’s “A Man on the Moon.” His book is a history of the U.S. space program that digs into what it took for us to send human beings to the lunar surface and bring them safely home.

Monday mornings in Boulder begin with quiet strength. Before the streets fill and the day gathers momentum, the Flatirons catch the first light. The air is cool, the trails are still, and the mountains stand exactly as they always have — steady, patient, and unmoved by urgency.
