This is a bad week for even thinking about going to space
Today is the anniversary of Columbia space shuttle accident. It's been 11 years but I can still clearly recall the pictures of the burning fragments in the sky. On 28th it was the anniversary of Challenger destruction . I also remember that - I was already in bed but I could hear the TV and I didn't want to believe it. I always loved space shuttles - from their orca colouring to ceramic skin to the rides on bigger planes. Seeing Enterprise was the highlight of my last New York trip even though it never went to space. The Apollo 1 wasn't even going to space but the deaths that occurred in 1967 on 27th of January when the fire broke out in the crew capsule during a ground.
All this dates being clustered so close together led to NASA declaring 31st of January Day of Remembrance for those fallen during space exploration. Even though there has been a human being in outer space constantly for over 13 years now space is still as dangerous as ever. And everyone going there is a hero.
