98: Upon the sudden death of Emperor Nerva, Trajan takes the throne. In 110, he asked Pliny the Younger to investigate a new superstition, "Christianity." Pliny's report of a relatively harmless though widespread cult led to moderate persecution—and the first recognition that Christians were distinct from Jews
 
1686: King Louis XIV of France, having already revoked the Protestant-tolerating Edict of Nantes, orders all Waldensian churches burned. The Waldensians, members of a pre-Reformation tradition that stressed love of Christ and his word and a life of poverty, were soon devastated: 2,000 killed, 2,000 "converted" to Catholicism, and 8,000 imprisoned

That showed up the shuttle as the failure it was: the idea was to be able to launch, orbit, return, and be ready to launch again almost immediately. The fact that the shuttle was incapable of that primary goal condemned the crew of the Columbia to death: if the shuttles had been anywhere close to being able to do what they were supposed to, another shuttle could have been launched to intercept them and bring them back. Instead they were faced with a choice: run out of air, water, and food and become occupants of an orbiting tomb, or take the risk they knew would almost certainly kill them all.
