Americans are an inquisitive, exploratory people. Explorers are always on the edge. We will suffer losses because we lean into the wind of discovery. Hail the brave!

My thoughts are with the families of the astronauts. Perhaps private space exploration will have a better future. American explorers were motivated by market forces rather than the bureaucratic largess of NASA.

Offer a prayer to heroes and those lost on the frontier.

Not the market but military men made this nation. THe NASA should be under military command as is done in Europe and the Soviet Union. Other ventures should go private of course. But this Kennedy politization of NASA is a double edged sword.
