10 years ago today, the space shuttle Columbia STS-107 broke apart on re-entry. All 7 astronauts were killed.
In memory of 7 very brave souls, the Columbia 7. God Bless:
Rick D. Husband – Mission Commander
William C. McCool – Pilot
Kalpana Chawla - Mission Specialist
Laurel B. Clark - Mission Specialist
Ilan Ramon - Payload Specialist
Michael P. Anderson - Payload Commander
David M. Brown - Mission Specialist
"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
