As a kid it was always a big deal when we sent intrepid astronauts into space. If it happened during school hours a TV was wheeled into the classroom so we could watch the launch or the splashdown.
On a beautiful July day in 1969 I was in the house sitting at apt attention watching the fuzzy image of man walking the moon.
I watched in shock as Challenger’s pieces arced across the sky.
Yesterday I watched brave souls strapped to a rocket once again, after nearly a lifetime, head into space.
This is a great thing. I cannot tell you why, but it is.
I may have find The Right Stuff and watch it again.
May God keep them safe.
Amen
