One of the great differences between humans and the other lifeforms is our quest to find that which is always just beyond where we are now. As the new frontiers go beyond the reach of most men we start to fulfill our need for the pioneering spirit vicariously through those special few that continue in our stead. They loss is our loss and we share in their pain.

I live in Texas and yesterday at 8 in the morning there was this huge boom. Later I found out what it was the Columbia exploding. Debri is scattered all over the state. I'm very proud of the people of Texas for their assistance with Nasa on collecting items and I pray for the souls of Columbia.
