So long Columbia
Its unfortunate that after such a long hiatus in my blogging activity, the first thing that I am going to post is going to be about Columbia.
Mission Control at Huoston: Last communication with Columbia occured at 8:00am central time...
I just saw the breaking news and the footage. No doubt in my mind that the shuttle has broken up during descent. May the souls of the astronauts rest in peace and may their families find the courage to deal with this tragedy.
I still remember the day Challenger blew up. I was in Government college Iqbal hostel and I saw the replay on TV. I still remember where I was, how I was told and how I watched it on tv as if in slowmotion.
Somehow a space shuttle loss always seems more tragic.. don't know why.
To the astronauts.. May you rest in peace.
