This page is dedicated to the seven lives lost on February 1, 2003, when the Space Shuttle Columbia lost flight while returning to Earth.

"We remember not only one moment of tragedy, but seven lives of great purpose and achievement."

"The final days of their own lives were spent looking down upon this earth, and now, on every continent, in every land they can see, the names of these astronauts are known and remembered."

A quote from President Bush's address to the Nation...
"In an age when space flight has come to seem almost routine, it is easy to overlook the dangers of travel by rocket, and the difficulties of navigating the fierce outer atmosphere of the Earth. These astronauts knew the dangers, and they faced them willingly, knowing they had a high and noble purpose in life. Because of their courage and daring and idealism, we will miss them all the more."

Another quote from President Bush's address to the Nation...
"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."

"May God bless the grieving families, and may God continue to bless America."
