Too young to have seen Apollo 13? Oh man, that was out 20 years ago.

BTW, if anyone is too young to have ever seen the movie Apollo 13,
watch it. I love the part with Marilyn Lovell ordering the reporters
off her lawn who couldn�t even be bothered to cover the mission until
it turned into a potential disaster. �Those people don�t put one
piece of equipment on my lawn. If they have a problem with that, they
can take it up with my husband ... he�ll be home Friday.� Movie has
more great quotes than you can shake a stick at.

Humans think negative more than positive. I saw this yesterday:

It does seem to me that people started out focusing on the successes
at NASA and ended up focusing only on the failures, now the cycle is
starting over with private enterprise.
I don�t like the way people universally started to talk about the
Space Shuttle like some enormous failure to be mocked. NASA and
their contractors were told to build a reusable space truck for
delivering stuff to orbit, and that�s what they built. At the
beginning people ignored the risks and marveled at the successes.
Then there were some failures, and eventually no one cared about the
successes, it wasn�t new and shiny.

I still think NASA should have been revamped. Private entities should
foot the bill for all failures, paid only upon success.

Agreed, I am still amazed they can hit the damn ship without

If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your
team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
