mirajeColumbia astronauts, RIP.
This was a tragic event in itself, but hearing that one of the astronauts was from where I live made it hit closer to home. Laurel Clark was born here in Ames while her father went to school at Iowa State University. I've always respected students here who were in the aeronautical engineering major, because I knew how challenging and ambitious it was. After today, I realize that it's not only that, but it's the courage and bravery to do something that so few have done before them. This is a sad, sad thing.
