Karlie RogersSep 12, 2007

I knew Karlie Rogers briefly, in 1998. She made corny jokes and laughed easily. On September 11th, 2001, she was in the north tower. There are no lessons in her death. It was random and senseless. She was a good person. I remember her with fondness and sadness.

Reflecting on the Columbia disaster through newly released transcripts. It was tragic, but we must press on with space exploration.

The space shuttle Columbia broke up on reentry. Are we witnessing the end of the shuttle era?
