Opinion
I'll be honest. I posted this mostly for the photo. What an amazing shot. It captures all the risk and danger, not to mention the relatively primitive nature of our current activity in space. To think that four people survived in this charred capsule as it reentered the atmosphere is both stunning and staggering.
