LOSS AND ENDEAVOR
Thoughts on the Loss of the
Columbia
| "Any endeavor that goes beyond the known and the comfortable, that tries to take humankind to new places and new understanding, has associated risks. The people involved in those endeavors are aware if the risks, and take them willingly. The value of what these people do is defined in a real way by what they risk in doing it, as well as what it can lead to. They know in their hearts that if they are successful, they will make a positive difference in the lives of people everywhere. They feel very personally the need to explore and to learn that drove humanity to colonize the continents, to discover the physical laws that govern the Universe, and to develop the technologies that enable the world to support a population of billions." — Brad Jarvis, President, RMMS |
