tragedy have been avoided?

Watch a preview.

"Challenger: The Untold Story" at 9P et/pt (two hours)

NGC revisits the shuttle disaster that killed six astronauts and
schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe. Dramatic re-creations,
archival footage and firsthand accounts from key participants
provide an intimate perspective on this defining moment of
the 20th Century.


--------------------
"After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance.
I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard,
and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does
not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is
indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have
no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft."

- Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853
