According to the media reports I am hearing this morning, it
would appear that the crew compartment, or at least a large
portion of it, has been located about 16 miles off the Florida
coast. According to these reports, the remains of some of the
crew, as yet unidentified, have been found with the wreckage.
According to these reports, a portion of the crew compartment
and remains have been recovered and were transported to Patrick
AFB ("under cover of darkness") for study. NASA clims that
they told the relatives of the Astronauts that the remains had
been located, but Gregory Jarvis' father says that he was not
notified, that he found out by listening to the news. However,
he has stated that he is "releived that the bodies may have
been found. [He] never felt comfortable with the idea that
[his] son had just been blown to bits."
So, it starts again.
We have had our period of National mourning, the memorial
services, the ongoing investigations and finger pointing. We
now have another national duty to perform, an appropriate
funeral service. Should the Challenger Crew be interred at
Arlington National Cemetary, or at sites chosen by the
famillies. (Are the crew of the Appolo fire interred at
Arlington National?)
Let us pause to remember their courage and sacrifice, then let's
find out what went wrong and fix it so we can get back into gear
with the space program. The guilty parties (if there really are any)
will be made to pay the price by society and history.
The Dream is, and must remain, alive!
