Over the stove, we share personal family history. Where did your grandparents come from? What did your grandparents cook?

When you are young, your grandparents try to tell you their history, and you don't care because it doesn't interest you at the time. Later on, you wish you had written what they said down.

We talk about buying food and cooking on a limited income.

For us, it's all about the next generation. This is about a sense of community.

It was very much a family thing. There were a lot of children on the trip, a lot with grandparents, a lot with parents, some with great-grandparents.

We now have an opportunity for our generation to make our mark on human history. Our parents and grandparents took us to the Moon the first time. Now it's time for us to go back to the Moon to stay, and then head straight for Mars.
