A STATEMENT FROM THE FAMILIES OF COLUMBIA
On January 16th, we saw our loved ones launch into a brilliant, cloud-free
sky. Their hearts were full of enthusiasm, pride in country, faith in their
God, and a willingness to accept risk in the pursuit of knowledge ---
knowledge that might improve the quality of life for all mankind. Columbia's
16-day mission of scientific discovery was a great success, cut short by
mere minutes ---- yet it will live on forever in our memories. We want to
thank the NASA family and people from around the world for their incredible
outpouring of love and support. Although we grieve deeply, as do the
families of Apollo 1 and Challenger before us, the bold exploration of space
must go on. Once the root cause of this tragedy is found and corrected, the
legacy of Columbia must carry on --- for the benefit of our children and
yours.
