"From our orbital vantage point, we observe an earth without borders, full of peace, beauty and magnificence, and we pray that humanity as a whole can imagine a borderless world as we see it and strive to live as one in peace."
-Pilot William McCool, STS-107 (Orbiter Columbia)
Note: William "Willie" McCool died on Feb. 1st 2003 when Columbia broke up on reentry...just a few days after making the above statement.
"When I was a kid, they used to tell me that I could be anything I wanted to be, no matter what... and maybe I am insane, I don't know, but I still believe that. Somewhere along the line, we stopped believing that we could do anything."
-Charles Farmer "The Astronaut Farmer"
Peace,
Lance "Rocketman"
