Heroes. The amazing fast flying space explorers are heroes. Into that amazing machine in prison-colored suits determined and waving and smiling they went probably with their last prayers as insurance said. We have all felt like that before. Whether before a judge or at the top of the big hill on a roller coaster; we have hung on and left the results to God or Allah or whatever we pray to. God bless them all.

Heroes. The amazing working man and woman of American firsts and fifteenths. How many didn't make it home form work last Saturday after putting in the overtime to feed their families of future space fliers? Where is their 'round the clock coverage on CNN? Maybe I'm being nit picky and deliberately controversial, but their charred remains won't be sorrowing the world at the lips of Connie Chung or Wolf Blitzer.

Heroes. You, reading this, when you love and play and create and work and enjoy-are my heroes. Earth orbiting dare-devils, too. God bless us all.
