NASA Pushes Forward
July 3rd, 2006 | Published in Politics, Unreal
So I have been following all of the hype on the news the past few days about all the issues that NASA has been having with the upcoming launch. It’s already been rescheduled two times due to weather and recently they found gaps in the foam that prevent the fuel lines for freezing. And even though they have discovered these gaps, NASA reports that they are still going forward with the launch.
I’m no engineer, but these were some of the same issues they had when the last space shuttle exploded. It amazes me that NASA is willing to take this risk just to get supplies and another astronaut to the space station.
That said, it astounds me at what we, as humans, are capable of. This picture of the shuttle on it’s moving platform is huge. The people in the bottom right of the photograph put this picture into perspective. God is amazing to say the least. To allow us to create, to dream, to use our gifts to explore our amazing galaxy, floors me. Granted, I feel pretty stupid for the most part when I try and compare myself to the people at NASA (it is by no means a regular comparison) but I do. However, to think that God would allows us the ability to construct the means to reach far planets and moons and send people to them leaves me awe. He is amazing.
It’s funny to think about how my world recently has allowed me to stay focused on Him. Writing on this blog has allowed me to think more about Him and what He has gifted people with. What He has allowed me to be apart of and what He has blessed me with. It’s funny to think that almost a week ago, I wouldn’t have even a second thought to what NASA is doing nor what splendor He has created beyond what I can see here on earth!
