Patrick, thank you for keeping us up to date. Sooner or later, though, we all run out of adrenaline. No-one knew the risks better than the crew. Even their own families stated that had they known their time was up, they would have wanted to leave this earth doing what they loved. I only hope I can exit this world in a true blaze of glory when my own time comes. Space travel will always be risky by it's very nature. Human engineering pushed to it's absolute limits. The space program has always made me proud to be a human being..."Look what MY species can do!" There will be future accidents, of that there can be no doubt. But the sun also rises. If something new turns up, please DO post it. C. --- Patrick Wiggins <paw@trilobyte.net> wrote:
Hi,
Well, tomorrow will be two weeks since Columbia was lost and the mainstream media seems to be doing a pretty good job of covering what news there is. So, if there are no objections, I'm going to take the Columbia stuff off my web site this weekend and stop posting day-to-day Columbia stuff here.
Here's looking forward to the shuttle flying again soon.
Patrick
