1 19 A Resolution to honor the crew of the space shuttle
1 20 Columbia.
1 21 WHEREAS, on January 16, 2003, America's first space
1 22 shuttle, the space shuttle Columbia, was launched on a
1 23 peaceful science mission and made headlines because of
1 24 the membership on the crew of the first Israeli
1 25 astronaut; and
1 26 WHEREAS, during the course of that mission, the
1 27 shuttle astronauts completed more than 80 scientific
1 28 experiments for the benefit of humankind; and
1 29 WHEREAS, on February 1, 2003, at 9:00 a.m., just 16
1 30 minutes before Columbia was scheduled to land, the
2 1 National Aeronautics and Space Administration's
2 2 Mission Control in Houston, Texas, lost contact with
2 3 the shuttle and soon learned that both Columbia and
2 4 its brave crew of seven were lost; and
2 5 WHEREAS, one of these seven courageous astronauts,
2 6 Commander Laurel Clark, was born in Ames, Iowa, and
2 7 lived there for two years while her father studied at
2 8 Iowa State University of Science and Technology; and
2 9 WHEREAS, the loss of these daring individuals, who
2 10 despite the dangers of travel by rocket and the
2 11 difficulties of navigating in earth's outer atmosphere
2 12 risked their lives in the hope that their efforts
2 13 would contribute to greater good for humankind, is a
2 14 tragedy for Iowa, the nation, and the international
2 15 community; NOW THEREFORE,
2 16 BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
2 17 That the House of Representatives joins with the rest
2 18 of the nation in grieving for and conveying respect
2 19 and gratitude for the contributions made by Colonel
2 20 Rick Husband, Lieutenant Michael Anderson, Commander
2 21 Laurel Clark, Captain Dave Brown, Commander William
2 22 McCool, Dr. Kalpana Chawla, and Colonel Ilan Ramon.
