30 years of adventure
Columbia, Challenger, Atlantis, Discovery, Endeavour and Enterprise - all these fall under the master class creations of mankind that took us out into the realms previously unknown to man, not just unknown but unachievable. We’ve come this point in human history and none would conflict the fact that majority of the most fascinating things we know or we’ve seen comes from out there. Although the Challenger and Columbia had fatal endings, none of these can be weighed in proportion in terms of the launches recorded, each played an equally important, equally integral part in taking us further and further to the unknown.
Atlantis today made its final touch down from its final mission from the International Space Station, and although people don’t really care about shuttle launches to the outer space that much anymore, I regard every launch and every land and achievement of a life time. Sure were heading into times when they do get common and sure we do move into and era where space tourism will get popular and fast very commercial but this rather miraculous lift from the crust of earth to kiss the heavens above is no matter of small talk to me but is a story of success that we shall read to our children who will further pass it on theirs.
I take this opportunity to thank all those who took us there, shared their experience with us and all those who risked and lost their lives in the process. Never I have seen such courage and determination from people who put their lives on the line to understand who we are and where we stand in the mysteries of existence.
