"Go ahead.
Alright, it was September of 2005, this is the
accident, well it's still kinda hard to talk about it.
We were stranded in the um, you know what a
geosynchroninous orbit is?
Yeah, it uh, it would have been almost impossible to
get clear of it,
but no one could have known that one of our systems
would fail:
The guiding system, the third engine.
I guess they test the computers there and they said it
was the third engine on our rocket.
Haha! Yeah, I guess that's one way to put it.
I still think about it from time to time, I guess.
Um, but that isn't anything.
It's bad, but ya know nothing like the loneliness out
there in the dark.
I miss the other guys sometimes, but I never miss the
rocket.
I just spoke with Major Culp a few days ago. He
actually was a New Jersey man.
I guess we all kinda feel the same way about it, that
we miss the excitement of it all,
but no one really wants to go through that part again.
It sometimes feels so hollow, like nothing can make it
come back.
I apologize, um yeah, it was an accident. The anti-
matter, I mean, like all of it an accident.
And Lieutenant Hoerig, I mean his family, I still talk
to them every now and again.
I'm sorry it's just, uh, it's sometimes I still miss
him.
I can't believe he's gone, but it was him, he saved the
mission.
