rest in peace to the heros of the space shuttle Colombia 😢 😭 GOD FUCKING DAMN IT HORSE COCK GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR I'm so not in the mood mess around get cussed out #nasa #sts107 #adastra #spaceshuttle #Colombia
This one I remember clearly because I was an eyewitness: 23 years ago, Feb 1 2003, Space Shuttle Columbia #STS107 broke up on re-entry. The crew of 7 and fragments of the spacecraft were recovered from Texas and Louisiana. But 10 minutes before breakup, eyewitnesses on the West Coast, including me on Mount Hamilton near San Jose CA, saw the billowing smoke trail as Columbia flew by in the pre-dawn sky. This link is a thread I posted 2 years ago. https://spacey.space/@AstroHawk/111858299986968510 #NASA #space #history

Attached: 1 image #STS107 is personal for me. On Feb 1, 2003 I drove up Mt Hamilton to get above the fog and see the pre-dawn Columbia re-entry. I became an eyewitness to disaster, a billowing smoke trail instead of the expected meteor streak of prior re-entries. #DayOfRemembrance #space #history

#Columbia #STS107

We do not forget.

1 February.
19 weeks of the Single Through College Coalition.

Twenty-three years ago today, seven crew members of STS-107 were lost when Space Shuttle Columbia disintegrated during re-entry. A moment that reminds us how fragile life is—and how costly complacency can be.

Progress demands discipline.
Memory demands respect.
And standards must hold, even when the outcome is uncertain.

We move forward by remembering, staying focused, and honoring commitment—on the ground and beyond it.

A quirk of #space #history put all the the anniversary dates for #NASA crewed spaceflight tragedies a few days apart in late January and Feb 1.
#Apollo1 pad fire: Jan 27, 1967 (59 years, 3 dead)
• Challenger #STS51L launch explosion: Jan 28, 1986 (40 years, 7 dead)
• Columbia #STS107 re-entry breakup: Feb 1, 2003 (23 years, 7 dead)
NASA holds a single "Day of Remembrance" one day each January, which was earlier than the historic dates this time, held Jan 22. https://www.nasa.gov/dor/
NASA Day of Remembrance - NASA

Each January, NASA pauses to honor members of the NASA family who lost their lives while furthering the cause of exploration and discovery, including the

16 weeks in.
Time flies—days with only one digit gone.
This week marks the first anniversary of the INC National Rally for Peace (13 January 2025), a reminder that unity requires action.
It’s also the 23rd anniversary of STS-107, whose mission ended tragically, teaching that even the brightest paths can meet unforeseen endings.
Through it all, Single Through College Coalition moves forward—steady, disciplined, and consistent.
Life isn’t easy. Time isn’t forgiving. But discipline carries you through the chaos.
Stand firm. Stay single. Keep focus. Finish strong.
