3 days in history.

[maw lod qan]

Today is the anniversary of Apollo 1.

How are we going to get o the moon, if we can't talk between to building?

Tomorrow SWMBO's birthday, is Challenger's.

Challenger, go for throttle up!

Then February 1st is the one for Columbia!

All separated by years, but in 6 days.

It's so sad to be truthful, but we've only started. It will happen again.

The thought crossed my mind. One day in the future deep space missions may just dissappear without trace. Never to be seen again. I do think that most of future missions will be robotic. Especially with AI advancing. Better engineering techniques aswell.

What fun would that be?

I was less than 3 years old when the crew of Apollo 1 perished, but I remember both Shuttle disasters, vividly, and frequently watch related documentaries and video footage on YouTube.

My main interest in those is the human aspect. The causes and the legacy.

I'm bored senseless with what currently passes a manned spaceflight - ferry flights to the great white elephant in the sky. The engineering is fascinating but until they find somewhere interesting and worthwhile to send astronauts, I'll continue to be bored by it.
