I was never so Proud of this Country as the first time the Space Shuttle blasted off. I was never so fascinated as the first time I read a Technical Order about the Space Shuttle at my EOD Shop. She had Ejection Seats back then. The Ejection Seats, removed after the first few flights. I was never so hurt, shocked, devastated as the first time I watched as the Space Shuttle destroyed itself. “Ride Sally Ride”. I was never so hurt, shocked, devastated as the time she traced a Fireball across the Sky, why must these Good People Die. My dream of seeing her Fly into the Sky is over forever. I will live with the regret. I vow never to regret a dream again. Good Lord willing.
God bless and Godspeed. Atlantis and Crew. Sad and full of Pride.
