Today is the 18th anniversary of the loss of Challenger and her crew.
Yesterday was the 37th anniversary of the loss of Apollo 1's crew.
In four days is the 1st anniversary of the loss of Columbia and her crew.
We should remember these honored dead even as we celebrate our recent successes on Mars with Spirit and Opportunity.

We should also ask ourselves why the hell we would have any space missions either launch or land within this 7 day span.
It would seem to be cursed.
May they all RIP.

FWIW on the new album "Bananas" by "Deep Purple" there's a very touching instrumental song dedicated to those lost in last year's shuttle disaster called "Lost Contact" written by their guitar player. It's the final track on the CD

We remember those who have fallen during this week . . .

I remember the Challenger accident...we were watching the shuttle launch (live), I was on my dads shoulders (I was about 5) watching it go up and up and being quite amazed. Than my dad almost dropped me when it exploded.
Something I'll probably never forget, last year I was playing in a basketball tourney when my mom called me and told me about the Columbia.
May they all rest in peace.
