A brief thought on today's disaster... ERPS has always set itself apart from NASA, believing that NASA has long taken the wrong approach to space flight, and has long held the wrong philosophy of how to develop a spacefaring civilization. We have great admiration for almost every NASA employee, but we have differentiated ourselves from NASA on a daily basis.
Not today. On this awful day, we grieve with NASA and the rest of the world over the loss of Columbia. Shuttle Program Manager Ron Dittemore said this morning, "It's more than a job. Human spaceflight is a _passion_." On that, we agree completely. Ad Astra, Columbia, and Godspeed. -R -- "We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true." -- Robert Wilensky, UC Berkeley _______________________________________________ ERPS-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.erps.org/mailman/listinfo/erps-list
