My take on Challenger memorials: had there not been a woman on board this would be a non memorial. Emailer W.S. lets me know that there were two women on board, Sharon McAuliffe and Judith Resnik; Resnik was a trained space person and McAuliffe was a teacher with no training, "one of us." I still say that had a man school teacher been killed and not a woman, this would be a non-memorial day.
My take on the latest hysteria from Iraq because a "journalist" got wasted by an IED: never a headline when a grunt gets wasted. Fuck those "journalists." Fuck them. At last the terrorists got a target worth getting.

like the first Jewish American in space or something?
Not the first by any means.
An innersting question to ask about the Shuttle flights with pilot, co-pilot, and five passengers aboard is, "How many are really needed, and how many of 'em are just along for the ride, a rather dangerous ride?"
Next Shuttle flight may be this May, maybe. There's more on this at www.spacepolitics.com.

Last week NASA announced plans to launch
Space Shuttle Discovery this May.
I have a lot of objections to NASA's misuse of the Shuttles and to the proposed new space capsule.
