    Nearly all dictionaries prefer ColoRADDo to ColorAHdo, though they list both. I've heard that circa 1850 some early settlers suggested ColoRAYdo, though it did not prevail.

    Great video! My father worked closely with Jack Swigert on his 1982 campaign and later lobbied to have that statue placed. One day, I came home from high school to find Jack Swigert standing in my living room talking with my father, Dad said, "Jack, I'd like you to meet my son, Ted." Turning to me he then says, Jack was an Apollo 13 astronaut." We shook hands and Jack said, "Very nice to meet you, Ted." To which I replied, "I know all about you (pause). You know, for an astronaut, you are really down to earth!" I will never forget seeing Mr. Swigert and my dad laugh so hard. To which my father replied. . . and now you know, Ted!" To this day, that is one of my fondest memories, meeting an Apollo 13 astronaut in my living room and hearing his laughter at one of my puns. Best audience ever! Sadly, I also remember my dad getting the phone call that Jack had passed away. That was a tear-filled day. I am grateful to have stumbled upon this video. My dad passed in 2012 and I think of both of them whenever I see that statue at DIA.

    There are options to also delegate the filming to others, possibly get pass to escort a bona fide handicapped person, trip to DC to film at the other statue, now you can add that one, you could wait till next time you flew. Where there is a will there is often a way. But not always. Apollo 13 could not have safely landed on the moon and safely made it back to earth after that explosive cryo stir. No way. Lovell know it was defective and should have insisted on replacement-delay not withstanding. Get there itis killed Apollo 1. Haste sometimes makes waste.

    As a Front Range Coloradan, I've rarely heard Colorado pronounced that way, and always with the a sounding like the a in "father". But I suspect the æ pronunciation of the a is more common among the rural folk. The modern pronunciation I am familiar with most accurately reflect the original Spanish pronunciation [ko.loˈɾa.ð̞o], but as always, pronunciation is left to differentiation.

    Chivington got lucky with finding the supply train at Johnson's Ranch. But even if Sibley had won Glorieta, Ft. Union would've proved to be too much. It was a campaign doomed to fail from the start, and had little to no effect on the rest of the Civil War.

    This was a nicely done video. I travel frequently and I am often in the Denver Airport and I always make a point of stopping by the statue of Jack Swigert in terminal B. On a similar note, if you’ve never seen the statue of Roger Chaffee in Grand Rapids Michigan it’s worth a look. It’s very similar and extremely well done.
