Third day of Remembrance
Dale Amon (Belfast, Northern Ireland)  Aerospace

On this day, the space shuttle Columbia has been lost during re-entry. Rick Husband, Bill McCool, Mike Anderson, Kalpana Chawla, Dave Brown, Laurel Clark and Ilan Ramon died in the breakup of the spaceship.

May their souls rest in peace and guide those who work to carry on their dreams of the high frontier.

For so long as humans fare the spaceways this time of the year will be labeled accursed and unlucky.

A sad day. Rest in Peace. Sorry for the loss, Dale, as we all know it is most poignant to you and your comrads.
