Dogs and birds on lawns 
From here I can touch the sun 
Yeah 

Put your jackets on 
I feel we’re being born 
The Tropic of Capricorn is below 
Yeah

We stall above the pole 
Still your face is young 
As we feel our weight return 
Yeah 

A trail of shooting stars 
The horses call of storm 
Because the air contains the charge 
Yeah yeah yeah yeah 

The radio is on 
And Houston knows the score 
Can you feel it? 
We’re almost home 
Yeah yeah yeah yeah 

The crew compartment’s breaking up 
The crew compartment’s breaking up 
The crew compartment’s breaking up 
The crew compartment’s breaking up 
The crew compartment’s breaking up 
The crew compartment’s breaking up 
The crew compartment’s breaking up

This is all I wanted to bring home to you

1.2.03- Space Shuttle Columbia Destruction

Space Shuttle Columbia (NASA Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-102) was the first spaceworthy Space Shuttle in NASA’s orbital fleet. First launched on the STS-1 mission, the first of the Space Shuttle program, it completed 27 missions before disintegrating during re-entry on February 1, 2003 near the end of its 28th, STS-107. The destruction of the orbiter killed all those on board.

Among those who were killed was the first Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon. His eldest son, Asaf Ramon, died on September 13, 2009, aged 21, during a routine training flight while piloting his F-16A, 3 months after graduating from the IAF flight school as the top cadet in his class. I personally heard his plane fly over my town on its way to crash- we only found out later what it was on the news.

Small world.

I was watching a program about the Columbia space shuttle crash. And it turns out my dad personally knew and worked closely with William McCool. He was one of the astronauts that died in the crash. I find that fascinating, and saddening.
