~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TUESDAY, JUNE 6 Seconds from Disaster: "Columbia's Last Flight" at 8P et/pt After a successful 16-day mission, the shuttle Columbia blows apart on re-entry, killing the seven astronauts aboard. It was NASA's biggest loss since the Challenger. But could the tragedy have been avoided? Watch a preview. http://newsletters.nationalgeographic.com/....ASJ-ROc9/ngs31 "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 |
