Farewell to the Space Shuttle

I must confess to shedding a few tears here. I’m sure I’m not alone in marking much of my life alongside the ups and downs of the Space Shuttle. I was obsessed with it as a kid, distressed when Challenger blew up, and inspired by the lost crew of Columbia. Reagan was wrong about a whole lot of things, but he was right when he said that the future belonged to the brave. We live in weak, timid times, but this video shows me all too clearly what we as a species are capable of . It’s al all-too-poignant reminder that the atrocities committed yesterday in Norway aren’t what humankind is all about.
