Germany, 1938. We've come

years ago, we have had a great

rates of crime and unemploy

us.

Flack of another kind than

Challenger now rains down.
Media bombard us about
technological spinoffs from
shuttle research — innovations
enriching our mundane lives.
Polls hastily taken ensure us,
yes — the majority "want the
shuttle program continued"
(regardless of: cost in tax
dollars, the deficit, the nation's
safety net); yes, the eager
public, "largely unafraid,"
would feel honored as
passengers aboard future shut
tle missions.
“To reach for the stars" has
an emotional ring dear to the
