Dispatch w.23.2020 “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” - Martin Luther King Jr. Doug Mills/The New York Times This week was filled with a lot of emotion. On Saturday, May 30, 2020, at 2:22pm CDT, history was made as Space X lifted off carrying two American astronauts into Orbit. As our family sat in front of the TV watching the liftoff of Falcon 9, I started to tear up. I think some of the emotion is connected to my generation watching many of these launches, and that my memory can’t escape the horrific experience of the Space Shuttle Challenger that exploded in 1986. I was in elementary school, and I remember that day vividly. I’m sure this was a part of the emotion I was feeling, as well as the excitement and joy seeing this shuttle safely liftoff. It’s so amazing to me that we have this type of technology, and seeing the booster rocket come safely back to earth after landing itself on a drone ship in the ocean, well, that’s just freaking outstanding.
