Challenger 25 Years Later

25 years ago, I peered inside through the playground window of my school. I was never particularly interested in being outside, and there was a shuttle launch on the library TV! The images of what I saw that day will stick with me forever. I didn't know what it really was I saw; I just made jokes. It's still how I deal. But I think I'm a bit wiser today, having maybe learned that the bleeding edge is sometimes literal. The technology we take for granted descends directly from the people willing to do what we never could. Thanks to the crew of Challenger, Columbia and Apollo 1.

Grammatically, your sentence makes no sense. Also, your statement is weak. So, I know that bleeding is associated with death, but please don't make such a stupid association when you're going to bring up Apollo 1. Believe me: those boys didn't bleed. In the Challenger incident, there's a strong chance that no one bled.
 
Taco, I hate to say this, but you are a really poor writer and should really consider having someone else write your stuff.
 
And while I'm on it, "Subscribers can see articles in the future" is an INCREDIBLY stupid-sounding statement.
