Per aspera ad astra.



Thanks for the reminder about this, Sunflower.

For those like me who have to look it up:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per_aspera_ad_astra
The first song sets the wheel in motion / The second is a song of love / The third song tells of Her devotion / The fourth cries joy from the sky above
The fifth song binds our fate to silence / and bids us live each moment well / The sixth unleashes rage and violence / The seventh song has truth to tell
The last song echoes through the ages / to ask its question all night long / And close the circle on these pages / These, the metamythos songs

Space Shuttle Challenger - 28 January 1986

29 years ago now. It still seems like yesterday to me. Dick Scobee would have turned 75 this year.

I was just a toddler when this happened, but may their memory live on.
