See these videos are great and all, but it doesn't show the truly awesome people. The people that solve a crisis, the people that stepped up and sacrificed for others, the people that created a new strain of wheat that saved millions of lives or created a vaccine for polio.
So you can ski off a jump and jump high, that's cool. But for me, the truly awesome people are the ones spending 12 hours a day in a lab, making sure that we're ready for the next virus. The people who make sure our lights turn on when we flip a switch and keep our cars on the road and keep our country running. So some guy can dunk a basketball, what has that done for the rest of us? I salute the construction worker out in 100 degree heat keeping our roads intact.
