Today's Sponsor:

Usually in this space I try to direct readers to a web site that I think is quirky, unusual, or informative. Today's a bit different. For today's auxiliary activity I direct you to the Condolence Book for the Columbia and her crew for STS-107. It is a moving and fitting tribute. Spend some time there remembering what is truly important in life: daring, discovery, teamwork, love, courage, and honor.

I've been trying to write what I feel but I cannot find the words. Deep sadness but pride too. Our condolences to the families and friends of these 7 brave astronauts. You will never be forgotten for your dedication, dreams and achievements to help the human race whatever colour, age and belief. You will always be in our thoughts. May God bless you all. -- Marica Hewitt and family, Aylsham, Norwich, United Kingdom
