Space Cowboys This morning the Space Shuttle Columbia exploded on re entry into the earths atomosphere. What a joy it is to awake to tragedy, makes ya wanna head on back to bed and hope for the best. But, reality raises it's sometimes ugly head and makes us deal with things like tragedy. This will no doubt halt other launches and stifle scientific progress for months. Not that that's a bad thing. We take a lot for granted and even the most amazing of human feats become mundane and expected. In our fast paced lives, how often do we take the time to marvel at our progress in this world, how often do we thank those who lead the progress. Simplicity is often what I crave, but it's the want of knowing why and how that keeps me intrested and alive. Risk: The possibility of suffering loss or harm; danger. Without risk, there is no discovery. A shout out to the Space Cowboys and may God bless their souls.
