THE BRAVE MAY NOT LIVE FOREVER, BUT THE CAUTIOUS DO NOT LIVE AT ALL. What a quote and what a tribute.

I get choked up watching this video. Im sure his mom is looking down on him wanting him to look UP, but he knows that .

Remember seeing this during the livestream, still brings tears to my eyes. Eve must be so proud of you Richard, for not just making your own dreams come true, but being an inspiration to future generations. I cannot wait to see where the steps of this journey take you next and the rest of us as we continue to make these breakthroughs towards a better future.
