This is the third anniversary of the breakup of the space shuttle Columbia .
I remember that day quite well. My wife was going into work to feed in the shuttle's landing. She was going to pick up kolaches for brunch while I was making some special coffee.
She didn't come home until the sun was long, long under the horizon.

all three of our big mishaps happend within days of each other, just different years, So far I have heard on the news mention of Challenger and Columbia but why don't they ever really say anything about Apollo 1?

A fine example of national soap opera.
Most of us were waiting for the ``Crash Photos Page 4'' and all we got was the usual news crap.
Women have taken over.
NASA will not replace NASCAR soon.
The weather radar was interesting for a couple hours, though.

Yeah. Reagan's line "reaching out to touch the face of G-d" still brings tears to my eyes. You got a problem with that?

And, yews, I remember exactly where I was for both Shuttle failures, and where I was when Neil flubbed his line at Tranquility Base. But remember, the first word spoken by a man from the moon was "Houston"
