NASA 'Day of Remembrance' marks 20 years since space shuttle Columbia tragedy [i]Twenty years ago, on Feb. 1, 2003, seven astronauts were just minutes away from returning to the Kennedy Space Center when they were lost with the space shuttle Columbia. Like 19 other astronauts who preceded and followed them in death, the STS-107 crew made the ultimate sacrifice while in the pursuit of exploration and advancing spaceflight. On Thursday (Jan. 26), NASA leaders, elected officials and members of The Astronauts Memorial Foundation led a "NASA Day of Remembrance" ceremony at Kennedy's Space Mirror Memorial in Florida to honor and remember the fallen and in particular, the Columbia seven.[/i]
