We're on an Apollo 13 mission: Gen Kranz the Flight Director at the time said,"When bad things happen, we just calmly laid out all the options and failure was not one of them". Tough and competent, "we are forever accountable for what we do or fail to do. We will never take anything for granted. We will never fall short of our knowledge or our skills".
Seasons greetings, NORAD celebrates 60 years of Tracking Santa Claus, St. Nicholas, the patron saint of children will be monitored as his spirit flies around the world. Good thing too, for many areas, have restricted airspace due to conflicts on the ground but NORAD has Santa's 6, with an escort if needed.
Santa's 6
I don't think escort will be necessary with the spirit of a holiday that brings Santa Claus, whom some call Dun Che Lao Ren (dwyn-chuh-lau-oh-run) which means "Christmas Old Man." From the four corners of the globe this spirit is in many forms; Christmas, Saint Lucy's Day, Boxing Day, Prophet Mohammed, Diwali, Hanukkah, "Ded Moroz", "Hoteiosho", "le père de Noël", Three Wise Men, which brings to mind, peace. In the mean time Santa has contracted BNSF Railway owned by Warren Buffett to distribute the alarming load of coal on Santa's Naughty List, one lump or two there's always room for improvement.
