disorienting (for the majority of us ground-based mortals)

- 2/2/03: It is difficult for us to grasp or appreciate what has happened in
the wake of the Columbia tragedy. To say simply that the seven
astronauts were brave really misses the more important truth. They
were thoroughly committed to the concept, the value, and the
excitement of their mission. Our world is diminished each time
remarkable people such as these are taken from us. Once more we are
unequivocally reminded of the risks that go with trying to achieve
our ambitions and how our mortality makes these quests even more
precious. May God speed the souls of the Columbia Seven.
--Hank Caruso
