We will not forget
Today it's 39 years since a fire in the command module killed Virgil Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee.
Tomorrow it will be the 20th anniversary of the Challenger disaster which killed Francis Scobee, Michael J Smith, Judith Resnik, Ellison Onizuka, Ronald McNair, Gregory Jarvis and Christa McAuliffe.
On wednesday, it's the 3rd anniversary since the breakup on re-entry of the Space Shuttle Columbia, which saw the deaths of William C McCool, Rick D Husband, Michael P Anderson, Ilan Ramon, Kalpana Chawla, David M Brown and Laurel Clark.
No eulogy expresses better my sentiment than the words of Ronald Reagan:
"Today, the frontier is space and the boundaries of human knowledge. Sometimes,
when we reach for the stars, we fall short. But we must pick ourselves
up again and press on despite the pain."
