Remembering the crew of Mission STS-107, Columbia’s last trip to the stars. ♥
“The same Creator who names the stars also knows the names of the seven souls we mourn today. The crew of the shuttle Columbia did not return safely to Earth; yet we can pray that all are safely home.”
—President George W. Bush, Feb. 1, 2003

On Columbia Anniversary, NASA Remembers Sacrifices ›
There’s virtually no news about this today, so here’s an article from February 1, 2011.
“NASA Chief Historian Bill Barry has three days he remembers because he has to, not because he wants to.
Feb. 1, 2003, Jan. 28, 1986 and Jan. 27, 1967 are three days that will live in his head for the rest of his life. On those dates astronauts from the space shuttle Columbia, space shuttle Challenger and Apollo 1 died in the line of duty.”
