I’ve held off posting anything about yesterdays tragedy, due to the inability to find words.
\nI received this in my in-box today from a list I’m on, and it did help me to think of the words, however not better than the author, so I thought I would share this with you all…
\n“let us not forget in the hundreds of shuttle flight and dozens of rocket flights prior to that, how few the accidents have been:
\nThe men of the USAF who risked life and limb every day in the test flights
\nThe launch pad incident in the 1960s
\nApollo 13 – GOT HOME SAFE
\nChallenger
\nColumbia
\nit may seem cold to break it down to figures, but when you realize that in NASA’s history they have only lost 17 Astronauts and maybe 50 USAF aircraft pilots in the pre NASA days, and when compared to a war.
\nyet we still have wars despite the tragedy of the losses so let us still have space flight let deep space exploration be their legacy and their heritage”<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
