The Columbia site was both a beautiful and moving tribute to those who gave their lives in service of mankind. We are sure that they have gone to a special place reserved for those who have selflessly served his fellow man.
This is, without a doubt, the Most Outstanding Tribute that I
have ever seen during the three (3) years that I have have
been utilizing the Internet!
The layout, artwork, musical background; in addition to the tremendous amount of energy and resources that went into the compilation of this beautiful tribute to The Astronaughts who
have been called by Almighty God into His Heavens! May God Bless you! Sincerely, /s/ Rex Richardson
This was beautiful & very fitting. Here in Titusville we need all the emotional helps we can receive. We, NASA & the community, will survive & the space program WILL go on.
Thank you for the beautiful tribute to the Columbia and her crew. I really did enjoy it and it brought a big lump in my throat and a tear in my eye.
Again, thank you for your thoughtfullness.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Doni Ulman
THIS IS SOMETHING VERY BEAUTIFUL THAT WAS WRITTEN ABOUT OUR HEROES,,,MAY THEY ALL REST IN PEACE AND MAY GOD GIVE STRENGTH TO ALL THE RELATIVES AND FRIENDS.
I truly appreciate the beauty of your page. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job of informing us about the "angels" that the Lord now has in His hands and heart. Thank you, Lord, For giving John the ability to do this monumental task. May you keep your new "angels" and their loved ones in the wonders of Your love.
These fine young men and women were of a special breed. They were talented and devoted individuals who gave up their lives for the betterment of ours. God Bless them and God Bless all their loved ones. God Bless America!
What a wonderful way to share your talent for technology. Your site is beautiful and refreshing. I can't imagine how you put together this tribute so fast as it was sent to me on Sunday! God Bless you for sharing your faith.
This is without a doubt one of the most beautiful tributes to fallen heroes that I have ever seen. God bless you for the love you must have in your heart to be able to create something so wonderful.
In Jesus name I pray for :
God to Bless the families with love and understanding for the lost of thier love ones. In days, months or years that He show all of us His answers to the why. For at this time we don't know the whole of this. The testing they all did while in space, will be important to us in time to come. Blessed are they that give their life for all mankind. It was God that they believe in and as a nation so do we all, and it is in God care we will remain the best nation on earth and for this they give thier life. God Bless them all.

I was watching TV (CNN) when contact with the Commander was lost. I was deeply grieved and began to pray. This is a wonderful tribute you have memoralized them with.
I really liked your tribute to the Columbia Seven. That was very nice of you to do that. I hope the families will somehow get onto your site and read it. It is beautiful.
This is a lovely tribute. I hope the families see it so they may know how many hearts are breaking for them and their loved ones right now. May they be wrapped in the warmth of God's love.

Beautiful presentation...tastefully done, expressing our nation's and the world's sorrow over this devastating loss. God bless those souls who are now with HIM.
I pray that these brave people did not suffer, nor did they have the time to realize that they were about to die. May God bless their families and friends, and give them the strength to go on.

Awesome - the best I've seen on the shuttle. This is a wonderful tribute to the brave souls who died on the re-entry last Saturday. . . God bless you for this memorial.
WE ARE SO SORRY OF THE LIVES THAT HAD BEEN TAKEN ON THIS FEBRUARY 1ST., 2003 BUT GOD MUST HAVE BETTER PLANS FOR THE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN.
GOD BLESS ALL THOSE FAMILIES THAT LOST THEIR LOVED ONES AND PRAY THAT GOD HELPS THEM WITH THE PAIN THEY ARE GOING THROUGH. OUR LOVE IS WITH THEM ALL.
This was the most beautiful piece I have ever seen. Being a witness to this terrible event this site lets me know that not only the families of the crew are thinking of them but others as well.
This is lovely - What a Great Memorial - I so hope many more
people can enjoy this as much as I have. God Bless each and
everyone. I am speachless this is so beautiful. I wish that the families of the Columbia could view this.
I WAS AWAITING THE COLUMBIA TO COME BACK HOME AND READY TO START MY DAY BY WATCHING T.V. WITH A CUP OF COFFEE IN MY HAND AND JUST WATCH TO BE SURE ALL WAS O.K. WITH HER RETURN.
IT WAS 9 A.M.. JUST WAITING TO HEAR THE BEAUTIFUL SONIC BOOMS AS WERE ALWAYS HEARD MANY TIMES BEFORE, WHICH BRINGS PEACE HERE IN FLORIDA, AND IS ALWAYS MUSIC TO MY EARS. SECONDS BEFORE, I SAID A SMALL PRAYER (AS I ALWAYS DO WHEN OUR SHUTTLES ARE UP IN SPACE)--PLEASE, GOD, GUIDE THEM SAFELY HOME....AND THEN I TURNED HELPLESS WHEN REALITY HIT. .COULD DO NOTHING TO HELP THEM, OR THEIR FAMILIES.. .AND WILL CONSTANTLY PRAY FOR THEM, THEIR FAMILIES AND FOR OUR WONDERFUL NATION, NO MATTER WHAT WE FEEL OR HOW UPSET WE GET OVER WHAT SEEMS NOW, THE 'SMALL THINGS'.
IT WAS A TERRIIBLE BEGINNING FOR WHICH I THOUGHT WAS GOING TO BE A BEAUTIFUL DAY----"OUR 'GUYS AND GALS' ARE HOME."
BUT, IN MY HEART, I KNOW THAT THEY ARE......."HOME". . .
God bless the men and women with the courage to go before us into space so that we might have a better life. May God be with their families and give them peace.
May God accept these souls into heaven, and may he bless the families of our fallen heroes in their time of grief. We will always remember what they did for mankind, and live to be thankful for their time in space.
Another tragedy over Texas. How our hearts ache for the seven beautiful lives lost in service to our country . We thank them for giving their lives for us and we pray that they will rest gently in the arms of our Lord for always. My prayers are for them and their families. For God to comfort them and give them courage and strength to endure this. All my love from the Lone Star State.
VERY TOUCHING. A FINE TRIBUTE TO OUR 7 STARS OVER TEXAS

To those Family members, my prayers are with to you all. Look up each night at the stars above and know that your loved one is one of those stars shinning down on you. The are in Heaven now, An angel to God. They will be with you now no matter where you are.

Whenever you feel you need, embrace that love, you will be surprised how much better you will feel. Take care and my God Bless you all !!!!!
A really sweet web site, but it would be even nicer if the punctuation were correct. There are many commas missing and "lets" should be "let's" - for starters.
This is a beautiful tribute to 7 very brave souls. Our thoughts and prays are with their families, friends and co workers.

We are filled with sorrow for their loss and grieve along side of their families, friends and co-workers. At the same time our gratefulness and pride for them will one day outweigh the pain of our heroes. A heart felt thank you to seven shuttle astronauts who will be missed.

Thankyou for creating this for others to see. These seven souls can never be replaced. What a wonderful legacy they have left to all of us who are left here waiting to go home.

We're so sad...
I am intrigued and I watch as many space ventures as I can keep up with (3-4 hrs.per day) on the net. Seeing EROS made me cry. For what I don't know, but it may be the incomprehensible Awe of these things created that we cant quite get a grip on. We are so minuscule.
STS-107 We don't know why, but we do know their safe now.
What a beautiful rememberance of our 7 heros you have made. Our hearts go out to all the families and the sorrow they must endure. However knowing the 7 have gone to a beautiful and wonderful place helps us to carry on. Thank you for your wonderful words.

Yes, it will be difficult for them to have to bear the future without their loved ones, but their faith in God will bring them through this time in their lives. God Bless them all.
This tribute to our astronauts is really nice. Somehow it makes you feel like you knew them a little more personally and makes you appreciate the chances that all our space crews endure while they are away from us. I pray for strength and wisdom for the families left behind as they will have a lot of rough roads in their future journies.

HE IS NOW 16 AND THIS HAS BEEN HIS GOAL SINCE 5 YEARS OLD. WE WORRY THIS COULD BE HIM SOMEDAY. BUT IT IS FOR OUR COUNTRY AND LIKE COLUMBIA THEY WERE THERE FOR US. OUR PRAYERS GO OUT TO THEM ALL.
What a wonderful thing you have done. I believe what you have done will many alot to many people years to come, it's nice that there are people like you out there
This was a wonderful thing to do for all Americans and for the families of those lost in all the space tragedies either in the past or present. God Bless you and may you continue to use the wonderful talent he has given you to do His work.
My heart goes out to the families of the astronauts of the Columbia disaster. I have been employed at the Kennedy Space Center and this has been such a horrendous disaster. May the Lord take these wonderful astronauts and bless their families. In God's name,

Our deepest condolences to the STS-107 Columbia Families. Both Crew and Families are in our thoughts and prayers. These daring explorers have paid the ultimate sacrifice in the pursuit of space exploration. Rest In Peace. You will not be forgotten.
We should celebrate the contribution of all men who work to elimanate man's inhumanity to man with altruistic deeds. Thus I say well done , Crew of Columbia.
God bless all the astronauts and their families. The ones who have gone before and the ones that will follow from this day on. We are so proud of them all.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!
The site is go beautiful and a great tribute to our fallen heros. God bless you for your work and we're all praying for the families of the astronauts. They are in a much better place and we all rejoice for them. Heaven is a beautiful place with our Lord and Savior. Can't wait to meet Him!

I spent a week at space camp when I was 11 and I felt a bond with all astronauts. I was 6 when Challenger exploded and that has always been in the back of my mind even when I wanted to be an astronaut. I think the best thing we can do is continue our space discoveries. They died for a reason and we should all make their dreams come true.
God bless those that went ahead of us, and a special prayer of comfort for us left behind, In Jesus, the peace that surpases all understanding exist. God bless The USA and Her Heroes
It's a beautiful memorial. Thank you for taking the time to tell us about each one of the brave astronauts who gave their lives for the good of all. God Bless!

Thank you so much for this beautiful memorial in honor of the 7 lives recently lost during this terrible tragedy. What a wonderful remembrance and prayer. The country becomes "one" when any of our own are lost for whatever reason. Christians who do not even know each other but are connected through Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ... join in prayer and intercession for these 7 beautiful creations of God and their immediate and extended families... May God richly bless you for touching our lives with this beautiful testimony.
I thought it was a very nice memorial to the Columbia crew and added some familiarity to the crew to us that did not know them personally.
Thank you for the opportunity to know them alittle better.
Sincerely,
Clarice Arruda
This was a beautiful tribute to the astronauts. I hope it will be shared with their families, so they can see the tremendous outpouring of sympathy from our nation. Thank you for giving us a vehicle to share our grief with others. It will be a comfort to many. God bless!

Our prayers go out to those families and freinds that have lost loved ones in the exploration of our universe. May they have peace knowing that their loss was not in vain.
May Our Lord bless them and keep them in the Palm of his Hand.God love all the family members and close friends during their time of grieving.May the work that they did go on to benefit all of mankind especially in the name of science and health.
Though I cannot share the pain the families feel,
I hold a prayer in my heart for their comfort and consolation. The Columbia astronauts have helped make this world a better place for all of us. For this, I salute them and will be forever grateful.
This is a beautiful tribute to some very brave people. My thoughts and prayers are with the families. Thank you for sharing this. Take care and God Bless. God Bless America!!!!
"Thank you" to the astronauts families for sharing them with all of mankind. Their mission was not in vain. A lot of scientific material was completed during this trip. Some of it lost and some of it retained. Each one of them made a difference in our lives because of their research. How many of us will be able to make that claim when our time is up? God bless them and their families.

What a beautiful way to remember each of the seven that gave so much to follow their dream. May God give the comfort he has promised to all of us to their families to deal with the loss. Keep praying for all of America during these troubled times! May God Bless!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful thoughts and prayers. The american dream is alive and well, and has never been stronger. How very sad that people are afraid of the freedom to worship and speak about the God tey believe in, and that people are able to make others belive in a god that promotes violence. I pray that those who are so badly oppressed will someday have the courage and the strength to listen to their own hearts, and recognise the true meaning of believing in God, and understanding what working for God really means.
God bless the astronauts who lost their lives and their familes who are left behind. May they all meet in heaven one day. God bless the United States of Americs, the strongest nation in the world and protector of all.

A beautiful, comforting site. I will continue to hug the children and family members in heart and prayer as they mourn and gradually adjust to the loss of their parents and loved ones. It is for the 12 children that my heart breaks.
