This weekend is about remembering.

Today, we mark the anniversary of the day the world lost a complicated man of will and vision.

Tomorrow, we celebrate the anniversary of an iconic television show that has inspired generations.

Both occurred 50 years ago.

Just stop and think about that for a moment.

Half a century.

Today we enjoy a diverse political landscape, forseen by the likes of President Kennedy and the brave men and women of his age. And our sights are set upon bright and brilliant possibilities only dreamt of in the vast, glowing universes traversed by The Doctor in the T.A.R.D.I.S.

So take a moment to reflect. Just a pause.

Remember well where we have been.

In 50 years, it will all feel like yesterday.
