While the terrible news of the shuttle catastrophe is unfolding ... our prayers for those lost in the sky and to their families at this time.
Ronald Reagan said this of the Challenger crew, and it speaks of those lost today as well, "They ... waved good-bye and 'slipped the surly bonds of earth' to 'touch the face of God.'"
Reagan said this on our endeavor to search the sky: "We've grown used to wonders in this century. It's hard to dazzle us. But for twenty-five years the United States space program has been doing just that. We've grown used to the idea of space, and perhaps we forget that we've only just begun. We're still pioneers. They, the members of the Challenger crew, were pioneers."
We at Culture Shock add those on the shuttle Columbia this day ... Pioneers indeed.
