Description

Here's another view of the Space Shuttle Trainer at Johnson Space Center circa 1990. This is the week to remember the astronauts who perished in Apollo 1 on Jan. 27, 1967, Challenger on Jan. 28, 1986, and Columbia on Feb. 1, 2003. I'm a firm believer in space exploration and respect the discoveries and sacrifices of the bold explorers of NASA and the Russian space program.

Agree. Nothing is achieved without risk. To the astronauts and cosmonaut corps: Hand salute!... Two!

I grew up almost across the street from Johnson Space Center and, in fact, my best friend's mother was the Manager of the Ramada Inn on Nasa 1. I spent months at a time there for many years. I loved talking with the foreign correspondants that came to cover the launches, and when my friend and I were in our teens, we even babysat for the astronauts' families. :-) Great photo of this training equipment.

Great POV and a I agree on remembering those willing to pay the ultimate price to explore way beyond our wildest dreams. It must be exhilerating to touch the equipment they may have used.

I recall hearing the explosion while eating breakfast.if it had not been so chilly that morning I would have been outside. still I could see the smoke plumes it seems like they have an ideal job,but they are sitting on a powder keg that could go off anytime
