Beyond words...

Galina called a few minutes ago to relay the news that Shuttle Columbia was lost during re-entry. I ran down to the coffee shop to see if I could pick up some news on the radio... most stations were carrying on as usual, but one station did carry the grim news.

I cried when the radio confirmed what Galina'd said. Like a baby. I'd worked, briefly, with a couple of the crew members back when I was full-time in Houston. Four of Columbia's crew were rookies, including the Israeli.

RIP

I'm sorry Alex. I know this hits pretty close to home for you.
