R.I.P. Crew of Columbia STS-107
This is terrible. I only hope that NASA rebounds from this tragedy much more quickly than after the Challenger 17 years ago. We owe it to the dreams of the fallen today to continue to pursue the challenges of space.
Godspeed.
Amen.
ouch. deleted. thought it was a valid question. sorry.
As I said in our e-mail traffic, scully, I’m not sure what happened to your post. (The only posts I’ve ever deleted were some kids going back and forth about Quaor and somebody who gave away the end of LOTR:ROTK.) But I promise to address your question (“Why space travel?”) here in the blog, hopefully in the next couple of days.
