Elisson has a touching tribute to the crew of the space shuttle Challenger, who perished 25 years ago today. Wrapped up in a fog of my own concerns lately, I'd forgotten today's significance.
Too bad that people seem to forget all the others that have perished in the line of duty as well, but they all knew what they were signing up for. That said, I think I go to Russia if I want to see the Earth from a whopping couple hundred miles away in really close outer space as the Cosmonaut program has a very good record when compared to that of NASA. Well, at least until you "google" lost Cosmonauts.
