The first couple of times I read this my mind substituted "Challenger" for "Columbia" . I thought that perhaps I was reading of past events - not current ones.
Then, as I realized what had come to pass I found myself greatly saddened. Again we lost not only seven astronauts, but the dreams they carried aloft with them. Again we are struck down by this blow and left to wonder what the future holds for us in the stars. Again the song "Pillar of Hell" by Michael Longcor rings in my ears.
If only we put so much effort into exploration and discovery as we do into trying to start a war...
