With the Space Shuttle breaking up on reentry this morning, we begin February with a horrible tragedy. Peace to their families and the world.
I’m sure there will be the questions of terrorism. Realize that these astronauts do a very risky job in a very dangerous environment. Reentry, while quiet for them, is a world of hot friction. No terrorists required to cause this.
Many ironies here, but it’s too close to discuss them now. And I’m sure we’ll hear them from many sources for weeks to come.
