To borrow a page from Adbusters, go sit in front of your TV but don’t turn it on. Sit there for an hour looking at it. If the first idea through your head is “that’s nonsense, I’m not going to do nothing for a whole hour” …well what do you think you’d be doing if it was on?

That five years from now, the wife of one of the astronauts will one day look up and see the bright stars, and smile.

That ten years from now, one of the children of the astronauts will pick up one of the dusty flight-manuals out of a dusty box, and read one.

That fifteen years from now, one of the husbands will look across the breakfast table at his daughter be proud, knowing that his daughter is entering flight school - just like her mom.

That 20 years from now, there will be a small memorial, to the fallen. Placed on the soil of Mars.
