TRAGEDY: For those of us who grew up during the age of Challenger, this morning feels all too familiar -- and yet now, unlike then, we unfortunately know these things are possible.

My good friend Andy Lloyd is far more sophisticated on space flight matters than I am, and I encourage you to follow his blog throughout the weekend as events unfold. He and I had a good long talk this morning, and he will be far better at explaining the mechanics of what's gone on than I ever could be.

All I can do is offer my condolences to the families of those brave souls who have left us, and point you to President Reagan's words to the nation following the Challenger disaster. The spirit still feels right.
