To the families of the "Magnificent Seven of the Columbia": I admire the spirit, learning and multiple careers that the seven Columbia astronauts achieved in their lifetime. They reached for the stars and knew what it meant to grab onto one. They posessed fire and let it overcome any fears of the unknown. I thank them and hope more people like them will accept the challenges to explore our universe.
