I very much like space, and the idea of space travel. All-in-all, the Americans have done very well. I have tried to watch all of the space launches and re-entries.
On the 10th anniversary of the Columbia breaking up, I remember watching it. I will never forget that night in 片町 because I convinced the bar master to turn the TV to the NASA feed instead of football, and then the whole bar watched it burn up. This was terrible, but substantially better than the only time that I got to see a launch live, ST-51-L.
The list of heros who risk it all and lose gets longer, but I want to thank:
"Gus" Grissom
Edward H. White
Roger B. Chaffee
Greg Jarvis
Christa McAuliffe
Ronald McNair
Ellison Onizuka
Judith Resnik
Michael J. Smith
Dick Scobee
Rick D. Husband
William C. McCool
Michael P. Anderson
Kalpana Chawla
David M. Brown
Laurel Clark
Ilan Ramon
...and all those who wish to touch the stars.
