the final frontier often demands a terribly heavy price. But it doesn't stop us pushing on, exploring further. If anything it increases our determination to explore, because to do otherwise would dishonour the memories of those who we lost in these early steps into the vaster universe.

Wrote this (chorus) day after that sad event

What is a challenge without a challenger
Who holds the future without a dream
Tell me
What good's an answer
Without a question at first
We've been ridin' on a miracle it seems

Peace

The Space Shuttle was the most dangerous human space transportation system ever designed!
