Shuttle Columbia missing!

Sad and spooky that the second shuttle disaster happens only days after the anniversery (Feb 28)of the first shuttle explosion. The crew of this one even held a moment and words, in space/obit, in memory and dedication of the first shuttle loss. Hopefully the world recognizes this crew's sacrifices and learns from it, maybe trying to reduce the space debris orbitting our giant geocache called Earth. icon_frown.gif

Challenger exploded 73 seconds after lift off. I'm sure what you heard will become the stuff of many forwarded emails in the coming months, however.

 

Interesting (and sad) coincidences:

 

Apollo 1 pad fire : 27 Jan 1967

Challenger explodes : 28 Jan 1986

Columbia explodes : 1 Feb 2003

 

*sigh*

 

A very sad day. icon_frown.gif
