…ad astra.
Per adua ad astra is Latin for ‘Through adversity to the stars; to immortality’.
This week Is Rememberance week at NASA, to remember the crews who have given their lives, the ultimate sacrifice, to further our voyages to the stars.
So, remember these heroes -
- The crew of Apollo 1, January 27th, 1967 : Virgil I. “Gus” Grissom, Ed White and Roger B. Chaffee
- The crew of Challenger, January 28th, 1986 : Michael J. Smith, Dick Scobee, Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, Christa McAuliffe, Gregory Jarvis, and Judith Resnik
- The crew of Columbia, February 1st, 2003 : Rick D. Husband, William C. McCool, Michael P. Anderson, Ilan Ramon, Kalpana Chawla, David M. Brown, Laurel Clark
And honour their memory by supporting their dreams, their quest for humanity to journey ever further outwards. To the stars. Ad astra.
Thanks to Damaris, who is blogging how she is Becoming an Astronaut (and one day, I look forward to reading her while she blogs from somewhere in space:) ).
