My thoughts and prayers are with their families and loved ones.
I didn't hear the news till after 8:00 PM...
I'd just got off a plane from London and found out about the crash from a TV on the wall while going through customs.
Sad news to come home to.

I was having breakfast at my hotel yesterday morning when it came on as breaking news. So sad.
My prayers out to all 7 and their loved ones

it certainly was sad to see, and a damned expensive firework.
what about the poor buggers that are left up there?
hopefully the review will find the problem and make space travel safe as the last review did.
but when you look at the stats, the shuttle has got quite a good record, considering the number of times they have been used.

Dear Readers:
Columbia
I spent much of yesterday watching the broadcasts, many of which were from just down the street from where I live near the Johnson Space Center. As is true in recent years, these activities involve individuals I have come to know. This time was not an exception.
These who fly are brave people. I would not want their job.
May God bless them all.

I did not hear about this until 7pm on Saturday night. My days activites had me away from radio/internet/TV's and I could only watch 15 minutes of coverage when I did find out.
We must all remember that going into space is nothing but routine. Our space program is soo successful that takeoffs/landings are thought to be no big deal and receive very little media coverage. This event will change our attitudes for a little while, just like Challenger did, but eventually we will look at it the same way.
Our society recovers soo quickly from these events. It is rare to see an American flag on a car anymore, but days/weeks after 9/11/01 they were all over the place.
As always, we'll get over this and stop talking about it, but never ever forget what sacrafices are made by people like our Astronauts, Soldiers, Policemen, Firefighters, etc. These people have taken control over their lives and are all doing something to benefit others.
