It is a tragic day
As the official NASA picture of the seven-person crew aired on TV, tears welled in my eyes. I realized that these were people who came from many families that would not be "welcoming home" their loved ones, but rather holding memorial services.
I looked at picture and saw the diversity of the crew, an interesting mixture of people, all belonging to the human race. The race of earth, an Isreali, another born in India, yet another born only a few miles from where I live, et al.
As time passes, we will eventually be able to embrace their accomplishments, but for now, we mourn. Yes, we all mourn in the loss of their lives.
