NASA: A Christmas Gift from 2003
Oct. 12th, 2004 10:07 pmLast Christmas Juli gave me a set of 5 DVDs called "NASA: 50 Years of Space Exploration". It's starts with the Mercury / Redstone flights and goes all the way to present day.
The first DVD gave me a different title then the printed cover. This title was "NASA: Triumph and Tragedy." That was probably a hard one for them to title. In examining the episode titles I see that they devote an entire episode to Challenger called "Disaster and Investigation." The second to the last episode on the fifth disc simply reads "The Story of Columbia" and the back cover there is the crew picture of STS 107. There is no indication that the episode will discuss the crash of the Columbia. The Columbia crashed last year and the copyright on the disk set is also last year. I'll have to wait and see.
I remember being very pissed off at the news service back in 1986, when they repeatedly showed Challenger's short flight on the news. One broadcast showed it three times in their one report, a 10 minute segment. But now ... I suppose I'm ready to look at it. It's certainly a major part of NASA's history.
( But the intriguing part... )
( Perhaps we are all, as a people, a little more mature. )
As you can see, I'm enjoying my Christmas Gift. Thank you, Juli.
