Boredom with language, boredom with words. This tells us in a phrase what the present crisis of Christianity consists of, and where its deepest roots lie. For Christian faith, above all in its Reformation form, the word is an essential element; and yet confidence in it has largely disappeared.

This Day in Environmental History – On January 28, 1986 at 11:39 EST the NASA Space Shuttle Challenger exploded 73 seconds after take-off killing all seven crew members. The cause of the disaster was determined to be faulty O rings that became brittle in cold weather resulting in fuel leakage. A Congressional committee concluded that the root cause of the accident was a culture where NASA senior management often disregarded warnings from engineers about shuttle flight safety. The Challenger disaster is now held up as an example of the dangers of ignoring whistleblowers. Bob Ebeling, the engineer that first warned and tried unsuccessfully to stop the Challenger launch that morning, died last year at the age of 89.

How a 3-D printed arm gave hope to boy maimed in bomb blast

Artificial limbs made by 3-D printing are changing the lives of amputees in Sudan.

Mick Ebeling is the co-founder of Not Impossible Labs and The Ebeling Group, who took a trip to Sudan in October 2013, to do the impossible in constructing a 3D printed arm for a young boy. Ebeling’s idea came from learning about Dr. Tom Catena, who treated multiple children who were injured from the Sudanese government bombing raids. This lead to Ebeling learning about 12 year old Daniel from Sudan, who was also affected from the bombing raids and decided to help Daniel when he learned that Daniel no longer wanted to live, because of his condition. This led to Ebeling learning about 3D printing from a carpenter turned 3D printer guru, and then meeting Daniel in person to have his arm fit for the 3D printed arm. Daniel and Ebeling’s story is inspirational and beautiful, to see how medical technology may not be able to reach multiple in need; but if one person can be helped then that means all the difference. A lot of times, people believe that just helping one person will not make any difference in anyone’s life because it is not multiple; nonetheless, Daniel’s story proves that the impossible can be reached from miles away.
