These brave people have been my hero's since I was a kid watching the Apollo missions...they really do have 'The Right Stuff'. My thoughts are with the families and everybody at NASA.

To the crew of The Space Shuttle RIP. God Bless you.

I agree!! Living at the moment in Colorado Springs where Space is part and parcel of the culture here the loss has been deeply felt. May the families find closer and peace.

ilike to add my sentiments as well iwas 12 when i watched the 1st moon landing [july 69[

Was it "One small step for man,one giant leap for mankind"
Makes you think about life when these things happen. I too saw the orginal moon landings, seemed a dawn of a new era, not so sure now!

iseem to recall they played golf on the moon or was i on something?

heres a bit of trivia david bowie wrote space oddity around the time of the moon landing[ground control to major tom]

You are right about the golf. They also drove a buggy around the moon. I now think of Pink Floyds "Dark Side Of The Moon"

dosent seem 30yrs ago dark side was released have good memories of alan freeman show and nicky horne playing money.

.....and good to see that in this overly risk-averse age the programme is to continue after appropriate checks.
Then, especially, the crew will not have died in vain.
