Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] FWD: CNN Breaking News

Comment on loss of Space Shuttle Columbia...

The CNN news is not that much off-topic here, because this maillist is about
the same form of dangerous high-tech toys as the space shuttles. I have one
basic comment and that is to GO ON, despite the disasters...

Today's sad event was something the astronauts was aware could happen, and
they took a very carefully estimated risk, to make a fantastic voyage
possible. In the small scale anyone who dives in his or hers homemade
submarine does the same. And anyone flying on a hydrogen oxygen rocket ship
or diving a homemade submersible knows its both exiting and dangerous...

Its very simple...really...after all, we all have a "date" and some are so
lucky that they have the chance to do something important or exiting before
the date comes...This was the case of the valiant crew of STS 107...

So GO ON building your fantastic machines, and enjoy while you can...

Regards,

Peter Madsen,

-The humble builder of the submersible "Freya"
