Buzz Aldrin is on NBC, crying as he reads an email entitled "Fire in the Sky" that he received this morning. If that doesn't speak to the enormity, the tragedy of this morning's events, then I don't know what does.
I pray that the end for the seven lost astronauts was quick and painless, and that the grief of their families is lessened in knowing that these people are now at peace and free of the bonds of this world.
