This morning, the whole family rose to watch the Shuttle land. Nearly needless to say, this isn’t something we normally do. Space exploration isn’t the typical breakfast table discussion, but this time, we all have opinions about the direction NASA should take and how best to allocate funding. And when the Shuttle touched down at last, I found to my surprise that my eyes were moist.
I don't think this is morbid. I think this is a reflection of how much space matters to some of us:
Amygdala points us to this brilliant short. Mr Farber adds, eloquently,
" This is us. This is who we are. This is what we must do. "
Now if we could just save the Hubble.
