A very sad day for everyone. RIP the entire crew and our thoughts are with the families and everyone that works on the NASA programme.
What really disgusted me was the headline that Sky News ran with yesterday an hour or two after the accident happened. It was basically "The space shuttle Columbia has been lost on re-entry, it's the 2nd fatal accident to hit the shuttle fleet in only 20 years". Now I think we'll all agree that what NASA have achieved since day 1 of the shuttle programme has been absolutely amazing and I think the fact they've been able to go soo long without an accident is also just as amazing. I almost phoned Sky to complain about that headline!
