Guest guest Posted February 2, 2003 Report Share Posted February 2, 2003 Dear Bobby, I thought of you yesterday as the news about Columbia having lost contact with NASA started coming on CNN. It was difficult to watch as it became obvious quickly that there had been a tragedy. We all mourn the loss of the Astronauts and pray for their families. There were six Americans and one Israeli astronaut who lost their lives. Watching the news, I saw that one of the people on board was an Indian woman scientist (born in India who had immigrated to the U.S.). I heard there were celebrations going on in her high school in India when they heard the news. Hope you are all well. Love to all Harsha , "texasbg2000 <Bigbobgraham@a...>" <Bigbobgraham@a...> wrote: > Hi: > > The path of the Columbia was directly over my head this morning.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2003 Report Share Posted February 2, 2003 Hi Harsha: Local news is filled with the video of debris. The radar showed the cloud drifting over our heads. The lives of bonafide heroes. I have always been a sci-fi fan and all the space projects being lived out in our time is very exciting. Eventually a giant solar cell will be put into high orbit to collect undiluted solar energy with thousands of square miles of solar collectors. I did a portrait of a scientist more than twenty years ago that worked on a program for using the (at that time unfinished space shuttle) to tow ore bearing asteroids from the asteroid belt into orbit for the materials to build the solar cell. It is still feasible and will most likly be done only after the oil is wasted. Space hopefully will not be abandoned. I really think these people lived their lives for the human race and its future. Much love, Bobby G. , "harshaimtm <harshaimtm>" <harshaimtm> wrote: > Dear Bobby, > > I thought of you yesterday as the news about Columbia having lost > contact with NASA started coming on CNN. > > It was difficult to watch as it became obvious quickly that there had > been a tragedy. > > We all mourn the loss of the Astronauts and pray for their families. > > There were six Americans and one Israeli astronaut who lost their > lives. > > Watching the news, I saw that one of the people on board was an > Indian woman scientist (born in India who had immigrated to the > U.S.).
