Letter From Dr. Bernard Harris When I was 13, I was struck by the grandeur of Apollo 11 (the first flight of humans to the moon) and the boldness of two men walking on the moon for the first time. I overcame the challenges of my childhood to achieve success as a physician, NASA astronaut, and entrepreneur. Education was my launching pad. America has long prided itself as a nation of dreamers, a land where everyone can strive for a better life, a place where grand achievements like attending top-notch universities and missions to the moon, and inventions like personal computers and the Internet spring forth to create new prosperity. The Boy Scouts of America has provided you with an opportunity to enhance your STEM knowledge and experience with the Nova awards. These awards, while providing hands on experiences, also connect with other Scout accomplishments. We must not lose the will to pursue daring new goals, encourage Scouts like you to dream, and equip them with the educational tools to pursue their aspirations. Our future depends on it. Go for your Nova and Supernova awards. Go, BSA! Dr. Bernard Harris Astronaut, physician, entrepreneur
