Spacing out
| | The remaining shuttles are Endeavor, Discovery and Atlantis. |
| | NASA's servers are being hit pretty hard right now, clearly. |
| | This will delay all kinds of stuff that depends on shuttle flights, though the ISS will be hardest hit. Space tech in general will be slowed down. |
The second lesson
| | I was going to get up and watch the Shuttle re-enter the atmosphere this morning, but forgot to set the alarm. |
| | Instead, a few minutes ago, I got a call from my sister, whose voice sounded just like it did when she called before dawn on September 11, 2001. |
| | Now I'm sitting here with a six year old boy who loves aviation and space travel, talking about what happened to Columbia, and how something so adventurous and wonderful could end so badly. |
| | I'm sure we'll learn from this one too. |
