	Received this from one of my co-workers from the Shuttle Contract at
Johnson
	Space Center.  Can't believe it's been over 7 years since I retired
from the
	space world.  I still get choked up seeing this magnificent vehicle
doing
	it's job representing the  many Americans that worked together
making this
	program successful.
	
	Following the Challenger incident cameras were installed on the
External
	Tank to monitor the foam.  This film however even shows views from
the
	Solid Rocket Booster's cameras entering the ocean after they have
	jettisoned.
	
	It's one of the most remarkable films I have ever seen.
	
	It's too bad that our current President and Congress do not see a
space
	program as a priority anymore.  This email should be circulated to
make the
	public aware of the greatness that can be achieved through a space
program.

	       I don't care who you are, you cannot watch this, knowing that
this
	vehicle weighs millions of pounds, launches straight up, and
achieves 18,000
	miles per hour without being awestruck.
