That time of the year again. This week will mark 51 years since the Apollo 1 fire; 32 years since the Challenger disaster; and 15 years since the Columbia disaster. Some of these astronauts were veterans of past space missions, for others it was their first time. For those rookies, I often I wonder which is a worse fate: never making it to space, or making it to space but never living to talk about it. But veteran or rookie, one thing is clear: they wanted to be a spaceman or spacewoman. I wish to dedicate this video in memory to the fallen astronauts.
