Space is the awesome, and the people that travel there bring a special kind'a valor. Today and tomorrow are anniversaries of some of the horrific losses in the USA's space program that illustrate the risks that these people step right up to take so that they can get to space.
- 50-years ago today, 27 January 1967 - Electrical fire in Apollo 1's capsule during a stand-test claimed Virgil "Gus" Grissom, Edward H. White, and Roger Chaffee.
- 31-years ago tomorrow, 28 January 1986 - The space shuttle STS-51-L slid sideways at Mach 1.3 and disintegrated taking Gregory Jarvis, Christa McAuliffe, Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, Judith Resnik, Dick Scobee, and Michael J. Smith.

Wow wow wow. Imagine how sophisticated and evidently accurate their calculations had to have been. From launch day, they had to know the trajectory of Cassini that could fly by and observe Jupiter in 11 years, and supposedly Saturn in 30! Wow!0 -
