But until Tuesday, the Challenger *was* one of its most spectacular
successes.  Perhaps a eulogy to the shuttle in addition to its crew
is in order.  I can only hope for one more belated and grim success,
namely a renewed interest and commitment, both moral and financial,
by our government and our people in the space program.

One more vote for net.challenger.  Or maybe net.challenger.7?
