[i]Facing a crowd next to an eight-ton stainless steel space shuttle emblem, astronaut Bob Crippen reminisced about his NASA spaceflight career that started in April 1981. "When I look back on the program, it was a great experience. Yes, we had two terrible tragedies. But every time it happened, the program picked itself up by its bootstraps and got the program back flying again — and flying safely," said Crippen, who orbited the earth aboard shuttle Columbia during STS-1. Saturday morning, a jacket-wearing crowd attended the dedication ceremony of the 15-foot-tall shuttle monument at Space View Park. The audience was largely comprised of current and retired space workers, some dating to the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo days.[/i]
