A New Hope
Sometimes, just sometimes, I believe there may actually be some small modicum of hope for this world. I've had the opportunity today to go back through e-mails sent to two of NASA's youth- and child-oriented Web sites, and it's just very gratifying the number of children who have written in since Feb. 1 to say that they want to become an astronaut. Some of the messages are almost literally, "I'm so sorry the shuttle blew up. How do I become on astronaut?" If children like that hold onto that attitude, and become the leaders of tomorrow, maybe there's hope for us yet.
