space shuttle

On this day, 16 years ago, there was an event that shook us as a nation.

Broadcast live streaming video on Ustream Broadcast live streaming video on Ustream Right now at Space Center Houston, one of the original Shuttle Carrier Aircraft Boeing 747s is being joined to the Space Shuttle mockup Independence. The two aircraft will form part of a new display at the space center.

The visitor center at Johnson Space Center is getting one heck of a new exhibit. Say hello to the Space Shuttle Transporter 747, and eventually the Space Shuttle mock-up Independence.

I vividly remember waking up while on vacation in Hot Springs and watching CNN broadcasting a press conference featuring Thomas Kerss talking about the disaster that had occured with the explosion of the Space Shuttle Columbia. Let us never forget the crew and forever keep them in our prayers.  A special tribute video follows.
