STS-107, Space Shuttle Columbia, February 1, 2003

Feb 11th, 2003 by mark

I haven’t posted anything about the loss of Columbia until now. This was included in my weekly Palm Digital Media newsletter. I was touched and wanted to share it here, with you.

Out ride the sons of Terra,
Far drives the thundering jet,
Up leaps a race of Earthmen,
Out, far, and onward yet –

We pray for one last landing
On the globe that gave us birth;
Let us rest our eyes on the friendly skies
And the cool, green hills of Earth.

The Green Hills of Earth — Robert A. Heinlein
