I have made my usual mistake this time of year

[kitewithfish]

which is reading things about Challenger.

I didn't realize I was sentimental about space shuttles until I went to the museum in New York where Enterprise stored and started crying. 

I was seventeen when Columbia died. 

I really wish Columbia and Challenger were in museums.

Sort of related for me was being in the Smithsonian and seeing the Apollo 11 capsule. There is something about the mix of achievement and broken hope that is inextricably tied up space programme memorabilia.
