AEROSPACE: The Rebirth Payload Introduction - Trilogy of AEROSPACE Series

Please give me feedback about the introduction:



Introduction

A child’s crying woke me from a deep slumber.  Sleepily, I thought I was in a dream, but the wailing grew louder and louder.  I turned over to reach for my husband, Dalton, but found only emptiness on his side of the bed.  My heart stopped and then started beating out of control.  The child’s cries turned into heart wrenching screams.  I bolted out of bed following the shrieks of the small child.  I blinked my eyes to see where my husband had gone.  No signs of him anywhere.  A lump formed in my throat.  Where was Dalton and where was the crying child?
 
 




This was at Launch STS-114 called the Return To Launch.  Jon and I could see the Columbia break up from our home in Houston.  It is still a memory that I will never forget.  I didn't sleep for four months thinking how I may have missed something in the six On Board Shuttle Flight Software Quality Audits for NASA final signoff on the flights.  Ten years later my Dad called me on the tragic anniversary and said they had found it was a software problem.  I broke out in tears.  Then he said he was kidding.......

 
STS-114 is NASA's first Shuttle mission since the February 1st, 2003 loss of Columbia and her crew on mission STS-107. What follows is an account of the STS-114 mission, from the perspective of a photojournalist, and from the perspective of someone who witnessed the loss of Columbia first hand.

Jesus has his hands clenched, exasperated by mankind's behavior, to find who will serve mankind to lead the brotherhood from hunger, poverty, sickness, and imprisonment.   With his hands turned toward his body, the Manchurian states that he is not open to anyone or anything.   He feels he is superior to everyone in his skills and does not believe in Jesus.

Original Acrylic Art by Renne' Siewers, "Eyes of a Mother" For Sale Canvas Print

    “Eyes of a Mother” War and Peace Renne’ Siewers Looking through the Eyes of a Mother is the maternal window protecting a child during life and death.   So helpless is a child against war.   The mother is responsible for her child’s protection during this duress.   Depicted in the Eyes of a Mother’s portrait are the loud military explosions bursting in their ears from the nearby war; she finds a way to make her child content and safe. The Mother cries out, “God protect my child from the ominous war.” Mary of Nazareth fled with Joseph on a donkey to save her unborn child from certain death at the hands of the soldiers.   King Herod (Herod the Great) ordered the first newborn male child under the age of two to be killed at the hands of his soldiers.   King Herod heard rumors that a born king, or savior, would be extremely powerful among the Jewish people.   The second reason Herod was troubled was that he didn’t want Christ to come to...
