mourning the loss of the Columbia

Im not sure how many of you are aware of the event that took place today (2-1-03). They are tragic. 7 fine people lost their lives today do to an accident. For those of you who havent heard the United States Space Shuttle Columiba (STS-107) exploded upon re-entry into the atmosphere. Amung the crew was the first Israeli Astronught : Llan Ramon. As far as can be told so far this was an accident with no involvment from the outside Geopolitical conflic currently errupting around us.

Its times like these that i have to stop and ask myself why it is that we as a species have to bikker and fight so much. We have so much more to look forward to. We can accomplish so much more if we merely united.

My thoughts go out to all the families of the crew, and to all the lives the crew members had touched.

My the greater being(s) {God, Jesus, Alah, or whatever other name you call him/her/it} be with all of us in this sad time.

And my thoughts to those astronughts who are currently still station on the international space station.

Respect to them (the astonaughts) and their families through this tough time.
