I've read as many of your posts as possible on this webpage, today...It must be over 100 different posts I've read from all of you.
All of them thoughtful; all of them respectful; all of them poignant.
It takes alot out of you/me emotionally to read it all, and to throw in some comments, opinions and even suggestions too.
Please, don't give up on NASA.
I know I've been cynical of many things NASA has done, or not done, lately...But if you've read ALL of my post ["silver lining"] on that other thread, then you'll know there are
optimistic possibilities, by cruel irony, opened up by this tragedy.
I think that your Congressman, or woman, would consider the viewpoint/suggestion I've given worth considering.
I also hope that those two Mars Rovers
NASA is hoping to send to Mars this year
will be named "COLUMBIA" and "CHALLENGER".
I remember that Lewis & Clark was my suggestion for their names; and
"Orville & Wilbur" were even better name-suggestions given by Larry.
But....COLUMBIA and CHALLENGER are
the only names now fitting for those two Mars rovers.
Good night. And may God comfort you in this time of grief.
