All over the world this weekend, people are peering up into the night, trying to catch a glimpse of a sliver of the moon.
They're thinking about the moon because of Monday's 40-year anniversary of mankind's first lunar landing. And more than a few people are undoubtedly allowing themselves to dream of traveling to the moon themselves.
It's not going to happen. For almost all of us, it can be said with certainty:
We're never going to go to the moon.
But there's good news:
We can go to Wapakoneta.
Wapakoneta is a town of barely 9,000 people in northwestern Ohio. It may be, in its own quiet way, the most inspiring single place in the United States.
