Bruce,......................I guess this is another example of the very
nature of who we human kind are.
Whether its the Nolan Whites, or the just lost 7 astronauts. Pushing
boundries is what we do.
At times like this I always think of a very profound statement by Kiwi
racing legend Bruce McLaren.
"To do something well is so worthwhile that to die trying to do it better
cannot be foolhardy. It would be a waste of life to do nothing with ones
ability, for I feel that life is measured in achievment, not in years
alone".
