My prayers to all the Families that have lost love ones this day.:(
With this news there will be many who once again call for an end to manned space flights.
My heart is heavy at the loss of the brave men and women, but I would be even more saddened if their deaths ended the great hope of space.
I must go and gather my heart and thoughts now.
Peace be with them. Peace be with you all.

We should not let this be a call to end the Space program. We should make this a call to give NASA what it needs to continue and then some.
Oh, my God... and they performed a ceremony in memory of those who died onboard Challenger just before returning.
It is far too sad for words. I´m devastated.

May we mourn today, but never stop looking toward the stars.

Words fail me.
I watched the NASA Press Conference on CNN a little while ago. I just can't believe this has happened again.
Brave people, who gave their lives for the betterment of us all.
Wow.
And just last week was the anniversary of the Challenger explosion.
May their souls rest in peace.
