9:59am EST February 1 2003 ... Mission STS-107 ... the loss of the Columbia
Rick Husband, Willie McCool, Michael Anderson, Kalpana Chawla, David Brown, Laurel Clark and Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon, died when the Space Shuttle Columbia broke up on re-entry
(who can forget watching the recovered film made by a crew member from inside the cabin, of the crew watching the fiery re-entry that would soon doom them - the burned tape was found alongside a road during the recovery of shuttle debris)
NASA ...Columbia Accident Investigation Board .. Mission STS-107 Columbia Report
"we are reminded that, to push the boundries, to explore, to learn, to go and see ... that there are risks .. you do not stop because there are, you learn what they are, do what you can to mitigate them, learn from your mistakes and continue to push on
... we OWE those who risk their lives, those who gave theirs, nothing less than that"
I remember them :salute:
... and I give thanks to all those that put their lives on the line ... to go, to see, to explore, and to take us along with them so we can somehow be a part of it all ...
