Forty years ago today, on January 28, 1986, Space Shuttle Challenger lifted off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida and exploded 73 seconds into its flight. Michael Smith, Dick Scobee, Judith Resnik, Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, Gregory Jarvis, and Christa McAuliffe were killed in the explosion. Like most of my generation, it is a tragedy indelibly imprinted on my memory.
President Ronald Reagan addressed the nation that evening from the Oval Office, an address I watched along with millions of others around the world.
“The future doesn’t belong to the fainthearted,” he said. “It belongs to the brave. The Challenger crew was pulling us into the future, and we’ll continue to follow them.”
The president concluded with these words: “The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives. We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and ‘slipped the surly bonds of earth’ to ‘touch the face of God.’”
Not long ago I visited the Space Shuttle Challenger Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery. On the back is the 1941 poem “High Flight” by Royal Canadian Air Force pilot John Gillespie Magee, Jr.
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of – wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I’ve topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark nor even eagle flew —
And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

Colorado mother speaks out after her 22-year-old daughter, Carissa Aspens, became severely disabled after an ILLEGAL ALIEN who came into our country during the Biden admin, crashed into her and fled the scene.
"No parent should go through what I have... we shouldn't have to wait until tragedy strikes to remove someone that is willing to break our laws and put American families at risk."
"Carissa is wheelchair bound. She is nonverbal. She is minimally conscious. She doesn't smile. She doesn't laugh... and she cannot say I love you."
"You don't get to come here, commit crimes, completely destroy a young woman's life, as well as everyone around her, and cry about deserving to stay."
JUSTICE FOR CARISSA
I was standing in the checkout line at the grocery store. It was crowded and loud.
My dog, Titus—a strong, focused Husky service dog—was sitting perfectly still beside me. His body was lightly pressed against my leg, his posture calm and steady, his eyes locked onto my face. He didn’t look away for even a second.
A woman behind me tapped my shoulder sharply.
“That dog needs a muzzle,” she snapped.
“Look at the way he’s staring. He’s dangerous. It’s irresponsible to bring a dog like that into a store.”
At that moment, the room started to spin. My vision narrowed, the warning signs hitting all at once. I knew I only had seconds.
“He’s not staring because he’s aggressive,” I said, my voice shaking as I gripped Titus’s harness.
“He’s staring because he knows something is wrong with me.”
Then I collapsed.
But I didn’t hit the floor.
I landed on Titus.
He had already braced his body, ready to catch me.
When I came to, the paramedics were there.
Titus was lying across my legs, using his body to create space, keeping everyone back. The woman was gone.
“Good boy,” one of the EMTs said, gently patting his head.
“He didn’t let anyone touch you until we arrived.”
He wasn’t preparing to attack.
He was prepared to do his job.
He was prepared to protect my life. 🐕🦺🖤
Educate yourself before you judge.
Service dogs come in all shapes and appearances—and they save lives. 🚑

According to geologist Prof. Ian Plimer, Earth's long history has seen "millions of climate changes", yet not a single one was triggered by changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide.
"We see no record of carbon dioxide driving climate in the past, and there is therefore no logical reason to think that climate change in the present is driven by changes in carbon dioxide."
Neil Oliver reflects on how "the scam pandemic" permanently shattered his trust in authority:
"We didn't and don't know anybody that died of Covid. But we know plenty of people that have died of everything else that was done in the name of Covid."
"And everything that's happened since has simply underlined my absolute conviction that we're not dealing with entities in authority that tell us the truth."
"We're dealing with entities that tell us whatever it is they need us to believe in order that they can keep on... their journey of travel."
"When I saw what was happening with Covid—the scam pandemic that was never true—I picked at a thread and... I was suddenly looking at the people behind the scenes."
"And once you see the people behind the scenes—once you see the guys pulling the ropes and turning on the lights—the show's over. You can't take it seriously anymore."
