Ad Astra Per Aspera [ News ]
Was driving home from the Potomac Falls invitational this morning, and turned on WTOP to hear that the space shuttle Columbia appears to have broken up in re-entry over Dallas/Ft Worth TX. NASA officials at Kennedy Space Center have declared a "Space Shuttle Contingency".
Slashdot has an article posted on this, as does CNN.
Ad astra per aspera. May the lives of the men and women aboard STS-107 be honored, and may the space program of the United States continue onwards despite this tragedy.
