I'm tired, James. Tired of the incessant reminders that one of the leading causes of death for humanity is hubris. And I very much doubt I'm the only one. I wonder how this collective exhaustion can be turned into something of value especially when poor decisions cause the deaths of our best and brightest.

I was in 4th grade in Illinois when a classmate known for pranks told me about the explosion. I went from not believing him, to not wanting to believe him, in about five seconds.

It is a mixture of sadness, nausea, and anger that rises in me every time I read an article about, or see a replay of, that launch. FU NASA.
