So very sad.  Not just for the astronauts and thier families, but also for
our complacency and disinterest when it comes to the very important and
very dangerous work these brave men and women do.

And so very sad that it takes something as tragic as this to make space
exploration a more interesting story than tabloid stories about some
N'SYNCer wanting to buy his way onto a mission.

My 10 year old son has no concept of what a great achievement the first
moon walk was.  I hope someday he can be witness to an achievement as
awesome, so that he will understand my sense of amazement and wonderment,
when at age 10, i was witness to Armstrong and Aldrin walking on the moon.

Please take a moment today to pray for the 7 heroes who died on the
Space Shuttle.
As some one who  has followed the Shuttle Programme since Young &
Crippen, I cried myself to sleep.
