TRIBUTE TO Shuttle Columbia CREW

Hey Guy's

now is not the time to point fingers..........

I just wanted to say this,



My Tribute and I Salute to the Heros who represented us....mankind

Pilot William McCool,

Kalpana Chawla, who was raised in India,

Ilan Ramon, the first Israeli to travel on the space shuttle,

Michael Anderson,

David Brown,

Laurel Clark

and Mission Commander Rick Husband.



The shuttle's seven astronauts had closed out science
experiments conducted on the 16-day mission, which had been
deemed a success by scientists and NASA officials.


The astronauts had conducted more than 80 experiments
on behalf of NASA and the European, Japanese, German
and Canadian space agencies, as well as numerous student
and commercial investigations.


A mission well done...

For the heros and their families..., thanks!!!

This is really sad indeed. I hoped nobody would ever see another space tragedy like the Challenger. It makes me very sad, and is a sad day for America, their familes, and even the world. My hat's off to them.

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may God's love be with you

(spoken)
Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Liftoff

This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare

"This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much she knows"

Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you....

"Here am I floating round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do."

Greetings all,
Well my heart goes out to all the relatives and family of this very sad and tragic event.According to our local news in SA their is some speculation as to whether the inclusion of the Israeli was a cause for concern.Well I sincerely hope not and still if it was not an accident then I think there will be some serious trouble and it is still a very cowardly thing to do even if one of your own people is onboard.

I will always admire and Salute Our Heros, may God Bless and Accept Their Souls In His Glorified Kingdom.

My heart goes out to all the family's of the Columbia's crew
I salute you

Today is indeed a very sad day. :(

My hat is off to all of those guys and girls. It was a childhood dream of mine to become a space explorer. Those guys lived excelent lives, even if they did end short.

They are heros to us all and will always be remembered.

I keep their families in my prayers.

Negative: I couldn't think of a more appropriate quote. Great song too!

Today has been nothing short of tragic, and it was a saddened thing to hear about. I remember waking up at around 8:45am this morning, taking a shower, and then turning on the TV. I was watching the news when I heard that the shuttle had been disintegrated and was coming down to earth in about 6 flameballs. I was saddened by it deeply, and will be by it for awhile. My prayer's and condolence's go out to the families of these people.

Never forget the sacrifices made to push forward the boundaries of mankind.
