Three new interviews with William Hurt. This time they are in regards to "The Challenger" that airs tonight. For those who aren't aware the film is about the 1986 tragic crash of the Challenger space shuttle.
They are good interviews if a little short. Mr. Hurt talks about areas he is passionate in. And I was happy to read him say "Hope springs eternal."
He also talks excitedly about space exploration. I'm afraid to put this incase I offend you, Mr. Hurt, but can I be completely honest? I really abhor the amount of money spent on sending people into space. I don't like that so much concentration is put into this area. I've talked with my sister about it for years. Is this planet so perfect that we need to look to others? Is this planet so far gone that we need to look there also? As long as there is pain here I don't think that it is right to waste money on going to a place where there is nothing that truly affects us. It seems held so highly and just seems incredibly foolish to me. There are people suffering here. Shouldn't that money be spent on them? Isn't a human soul more vastly important and interesting than a very large ball hanging in space? Aren't they worth more than something that just exists but doesn't laugh or cry and can't make you laugh or cry either. Mars can't move you with a simple touch and you can never move it in the same way. How are we to prove to God that we are truly made in His image when what we call important is not what is important in His sight?
If there was a race being held by two people and if the first runner fell but the second runner did not stop his running and turn back to help the fallen I would not respect the second runner. It wouldn't matter to me at all if he won. I would not respect the race. It would seem pointless and vain. The real beauty wasn't there but in the opportunity for the love in the second runner to be born and go where he was truly needed which wasn't the finish line at all.
