WOW Kit, just WOW. I'm so feeling this with you. thanks for this one. I was working in my dad's retail store in South Boston on that fateful day. We had a tiny box TV up on the shelf. I think we said it as a (fake: ) survellience camera. I remember exactly where I was standing and how my body felt in the moment...neverforget.
Maybe I’m naive, but I still think NASA represents the best in (and of) us. Blue Origin? Not so much.
Not for nothing, if you’re looking for a great read on the agency, Challenger, and what led up to January 28th, check out Adam Higginbotham’s “Challenger.” It’s incredible.
Same. NASA was striving. It was the best of science and math working towards a common goal for the good of the country. Incredible pilots. Incredible bravery.
I'll have to check out Challenger. Thanks for the rec!
Ough!!! That's the perfect discussion of this gut punch of a moment!! You nailed all of the many nuances of this whole subject and its history.
