I look up to the skies. I dream of what lies beyond.

[xiane]

It's the dream, you know. That's what makes it hurt more than the roll call of loss that comes in every day from every part of the world.
We can look up to the skies and sense the mystery, the beauty, the unanswered questions that still lie before us... and those who dare, those brave astronauts who leave the safety of home and risk so much in an environment so hostile yet alluring to humans... we can only hold them high in admiration. They dared what we would not. Yes, they lost their lives today... but they saw things that they had only dreamed of before. I admire their dedication to a dream. I mourn their loss.
