***Space Shuttle Tragedy***

Brian Lee · Post by **Brian Lee** » Sat Feb 01, 2003 8:50 am

May we all take a moment to remember the souls lost onboard the space shuttle Columbia this morning. Preliminary reports seem to show it breaking up over central Texas at an altitude of about 200,000 feet as it was re-entering the atmosphere.

Prayers for all involved.

May the explorers be remembered with honor.

May their families feel our love and support.

May the exploration never cease. May their names be carried someday out among the stars.

Unbelievable news. Maybe somebody will sign a condolence book for me somewhere in the US. I do have to say that two accidents in 20 years shows the fantastic level of safety that is achieved by NASA. I feel for the families left behind.
