Truly one of the most creative and amazing things I've seen in a long time. No telling how difficult it was to do this. Not only did many frames have to rendered from single portraits, but the emotion and context had to be portrayed accurately or, in cases where it was unknown, substituted with something appropriate. I can't wait to see the rest! (y) If you appreciate Art, please leave a comment with your thoughts...

I remember this day, standing in the lobby at JSC, Bldg. 1, watching the Challenger explode live on TV (I was the Media Services Tech for the then-Director, George Abbey, on the top floor). Never before (or since) have I seen so many engineers and employees moved to tears and utter silence. It was a sobering moment which had had a permanent impact. It was also a blessing - a moment that imposed upon me the importance of integrity. For one man, however, it was far worse... This story always disturbed me. Imagine how you would feel thinking you were 'the guy' who was responsible - even if you weren't (it was contractors who rushed the launch) - and had to live with the guilt of this for 3 decades. Well, I'm relieved to know that this story will end up a lot happier. I'm glad you found some peace, Bob Ebeling. ^_^ (y)
