remembering heroes: NASA’s saddest week

[dichroic]

Jan 27, 1967: Apollo 1 launchpad fire
Jan 28, 2006, 25 years ago today: Space Shuttle Challenger exploded 73 seconds after launch
Feb 1, 3002: Space Shuttle Columbia destroyed during re-entry

Requiescat in pace: Grissom, Chafee, White, Scobee, McNair, Smith, Onizuka, Resnik, Jarvis, McAuliffe, Husband, McCool, Anderson, Chawla, Brown, Clark, and Ramon. I state again what I wrote a couple of years ago: I believe in what you worked for; I believe that space is our greatest adventure, and I believe we *will* get there someday, out past a narrow orbit around our own little planet.
