ArsTechnica has a great story about NASA's early space program and how the tragic fire during Apollo 1's testing was a turning point for the program.
As Gus Grissom said, "The conquest of space is worth the risk of life." He was one of the astronauts who died in the Apollo 1 fire.

The change in ownership was mentioned.
Ars is becoming a site to avoid--if they haven't totally passed that mark.
(I already disliked them for their anti-FOSS prejudices.)
I really hate the mergers and acquisition mania of the post-Reagan era--especially the revolving-door regulatory-capture dirtbags who rubberstamp it.
