Two years later, and it's been a rough two years. Considering the two years I put in on STS-107 before the launch, this really isn't the way I wanted to see it
turn out. A 1-ton, 5-foot-tall column is engraved with the names of Columbia's crew: Laurel Clark, Kalpana Chawla, Rick Husband, William "Willie" McCool, Michael Anderson, David Brown and Ilan Ramon, Israel's first astronaut in space. A three-quarter-ton, 2-foot-tall monument is engraved with the names of two people who died in a helicopter crash during the debris search: Charles Krenek, of the Texas Forest Service, and pilot J. "Buzz" Mier.
I guess I'm going to have to go down to 901 Bagby to check this out.
Now, time for STS-114.
