treiding

Sitting with cold coffee and watching the events of XLM, I involuntarily recalled the Space Shuttle "Columbia" of 1981. Nearby on the table lay yesterday's Cheetos, which desperately tried to look fresh but clearly suffered - rustling under my fingers like a chart before breaking support, reminding: even small things bear the consequences of their decisions. The consolidation ( 23 - 24 March ) with repeated touches resembled endless flight delays, as the whole world held its breath, and doubts poisoned the anticipation. But as soon as the ship, under the scrutinizing gaze of the public, completed dozens of orbits around the Earth, the anxiety dissolved into jubilation and delight, and the Cheetos seemed to stop suffering for a moment and almost smiled.
