re: You don't think you'll live to be 60?

Hi, Larry.

They say that when you hit 50,
statistical mortality increases quite noticeably.
By the time one hits 60 [if one makes it], statistical mortality
increases dramatically.
And if one reaches 70, it increases exponentially...
We'll see.

Personally....I've seen a few acquaintances go already, none of them quite 60 years of age.

I'd love to be around to see the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11.
I wonder if Buzz, Neil and Mike will be around in 2019?

I wonder if anybody noticed the coincidence of July/14/2015
not only being the 50th anniversary of the Mariner IV Mars flyby, but also the Pluto flyby date for New Horizons?
