and the entire world. According to TV coverage 17 years and for days after Challenger. Roughly 100 flights. Take time to say a prayer for the immediate family members and all personally affected by this tragic loss. RCB | ||

The loss of life, any life, is a tragedy, the loss of the Columbia is a particularly huge tragedy to the USA as well the world. The fact that the Space Shuttles are "EXPERIMENTAL CRAFT" does not lessen the impact of the tragedy and being reminded of the tragedy and great loss of life, which may include the lives in the Space Station, makes it even more difficult for the world to take in. It only reminds us, as human beings on a crude planet, how fragile man is and how the best technology can still fail. This may reflect in how our buses are built and maintained as well, I guess we should take it as a friendly reminder that the world we live in favors no one and anything can and will happen to anyone at anytime. Do what you do safely, build with confidence and safety in mind and enjoy your life as you can. The Crew of the Magic Odyssey Honors the fine people aboard the Columbia who have gone home. cd |
