NASA Remembers Fallen Astronauts
View at Washington Post
NASA employees throughout the country paused Thursday to rededicate themselves to space exploration and remember their 17 astronaut colleagues who died pursuing it.
'They and their families sacrificed much in the pursuit of their dreams and our dreams. We have not, will not, ever forget what their sacrifice has meant to each of us,' Johnson Space Center Director Mike Coats told hundreds of NASA workers.
NASA Administrator Michael Griffin said he would lay a wreath at Arlington National Cemetery in memory of the astronauts lost in the Apollo 1, Challenger and Columbia tragedies.
Saturday marks 20 years since Challenger blew apart as it lifted into space.
