The Smallest of Regrets

If we had launched as planned on June 17 instead of 18 (we rescheduled to give shuttle Endeavour its last opportunity to launch to the International Space Station this month), we would've arrived at the Moon on a Monday instead of a Tuesday. There's a certain poetry in arriving at a destination on a day of the week that's named after that destination.

At least we were able to go to the Moon in the month of June, giving amateur poets and songwriters a break in finding easy rhymes.
