The Determination to Succeed

without comments

STS-114 - July 25, 2005 - First shuttle flight in over 2 years

I was looking for some photos of a vacation my family took a few years ago. It was 2005, and we were there for a 2 week vacation to enjoy Florida. As things would have it, we were also there for the first shuttle launch since the shuttle accident that resulted in the loss of all seven crew members of STS-107 in 2003.

My family had a chance to witness history in the making when STS-114 and Discovery with its crew successfully launched for the first time in a little over 2 years.

Thinking back on this reminds me of the sheer determinism that we as people have to succeed despite catastrophic failures.

Anything is possible if you’re willing to learn and honor what has been learned, but most importantly to never give up.
