"There is no easy road from the Earth to the stars." - Seneca

I am morbidly watching the video of the shuttle over and over and over, waiting for news. No, I don't know what happened. Yes, my first reaction was "Oh, shit." Yes, I do have some theories in mind, but most of them are poorly founded. Yes, I am a descent analyst in mission ops, however, scarily, I don't really know all that much about shuttle entry. No, I don't know how my life will change come Monday (or today, if I get a phone call). Thank you for all your calls.
