Day of Remembrance

Apollo 1. Challenger. Columbia.

I hadn't known that the last Thursday in January is the Day of Remembrance for NASA, but I know now.

Being a space case was sort of mandatory, the way I was raised.

I suppose I probably ought to say something really deep, but my sinuses hurt. So instead I'll say that there are rumors that May looks good for a launch.

The only fitting memorial is fixing things and going back up.

Going back up, yes. But the FITTING memorial is cities named for them. On other worlds. We'll get there, oh yes we will.

"...a man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for?"

(Or, of course, a woman's.)

Thanks for thinking of us.
