Once I had gotten through the initial shock, my first thought was “Too bad they don’t have Feynman around to solve this one.” What I really want to know now is what happened. It’s almost like some sort of hubris — just when we think NASA is invincible, and we believe that all the kinks have been worked out of space flight, something like this happens.

I wonder if I would have heard anything, had I been awake. Instead, I was dreaming about being attacked by sharks. Somewhat near the end of the dream, there was a gigantic wave that crashed over me, making me lose hold of the dock I had just managed to reach. I wonder what time that part of the dream occurred.

Meanwhile, still in shock.
