<FireFly_9> What a horrible thing... I just decided to get online for a moment, and discovered that the Space Shuttle Columbia has broken up over Texas...
<FireFly_9> My condolences to the families of the crew.

"Almighty Ruler of the all,
Whose Power extends to great and small,
Who guides the stars with steadfast law,
Whose least creation fills with awe,
O grant thy mercy and thy grace,
To those who venture into space."
^{-Robert Heinlein}

The crew of Apollo 1 was lost on January 27, 1967. The Challenger was lost on January 28, 1986. The Columbia is now lost on February 1, 2003. Something's karmically wrong with this week or something...
