"They have slipped the surly bonds of Earth, and
touched the face of God"
- from President Reagan's
moving speech after the Challenger was lost
Remember our brave heroes who
made the ultimate sacrifice exploring the "final frontier"
The crew of Apollo 1, lost to a fire in the Command
Module on the launch pad,
The crew of the Space Shuttle Challenger, lost in
an explosion during launch,
The crew of the Space Shuttle Columbia, lost during
re-entry,
