Further to the post below about Sedna, I called my Grandma last night to talk to her about the enormity of what she's lived through. The conversation went something like this:

"So Grandma, isn't it amazing that, in your life time, we've found 2 new planets, put a man in space, men on the moon and landed a craft on Mars."
"Yes, but what about that lot [Columbia] that went up last year and got killed?"

I'm not sure she completely got the point...
