Daffodil Lane

I was at school. The entire event was surreal, the teachers were freaking out and most of the kids couldn't grasp the magnitude to the tragedy. The resulting coverage of the disaster helped increase my interest in the space program. Leading me to Huntsville, Alabama and the Space and Rocket Center. While I wasn't able to contribute to the space program directly, I've worked hard to be a supporter of it indirectly. As of late their new mission has been an even more tragic failure, a continuation of the failure that was Daniel Goldin tenure at NASA. I keep hoping America will take space travel seriously again, but I doubt I will see it in my life time anymore.

I just posted about this. Not too proud of my memories of this. Let's just say there were extenuating circumstances.

I blogged about this, too.

When I was told I was on the playground at school in Pine Top AZ. I thought it was a joke at first then the teachers called us all in and talked with us about it. It is a moment in time that is burned into my memory forever. Like Mandrake I to chose the path less traveled to Huntsville AL and at the University I learned engineering. Learning under the watch of NASA engineers gave me a look into the world of NASA and the worlds Space Programs. I hope that one day the world will step back from the brink and look the the stars once more.

it's a shame they went and blew up the challenger... some people will stop at nothing...
