Lethargic IITian Musings of a 20-something lethargic IITian on India and Catholicism. |
Sunday, February 02, 2003 First, the tragedy. The world mourns for Columbia, as it did for Challenger a decade and a half ago. And, as President Bush puts it:
At the risk of sounding cliched, every astronaut carries on his or her shoulders the burdens and expectations of a whole world. We talk of Indian cricketers carrying the burden of an over-expecting nation on their shoulders. An own goal in 1994 cost Columbian defender Escobar his life. Yet the space programme is different - different because these men and women represent a hidden hope of humanity. Of reaching out for the heavens. Let us pray for these ambassadors of humanity today. posted by Kensy | 11:20 PM
