From right here in my home town .

Grand Rapids Michigan.

1/2 a mile away .

Is Roger B Chaffe Blvd .

When I was a kid that used to be Kent county airport.

When they moved the airport .

We road dirt bikes and go karts and snowmobiles

and everything we could at the old airport for years .

 

RIP Sr.

God Bless the men and women who defy the odds. The journey to space and back has never been a safe trip. It takes alot of balls (women not excluded) to sit on top of a rocket, go to a place that damn near 100% of humans have never been to......and do it more than once.

 

May all of the brave folks who gave all to the "race for space" rest in peace. :FlagAm:

Remember specifically where I was and what I was doing when I heard the news about both tragedies. Sad days.
