I have been crying all morning. Everytime I see the pictures of the astronauts it is soo heartwrenching. May they rest in peace. These brave souls gave their lives for the advancement of Science. I pray for their families. I am sooo choked up! SOB!!

Ramon is a hero. He is one of the soldiers who bombed Iraq in the 1980s do destroy their nukes.

Such a terrible tragedy. Colonel Ramon was a hero even before this launch - he was in the raid that took out Saddam Hussein's nuclear reactor.
Israel, which was so boosted by his launch, may plunge into despair.
Love, Ivan

Israel, which was so boosted by his launch, may plunge into despair. Despair for the loss of a hero, certainly. But I'm sure Colonel Ramon would with them to remain courageous, as he did - 'till the end.

Let's hope there will soon be another Israeli astronaut, who comes back home safely. And many more to follow him.
Prayers for Israel.
To: Happygal
Agreed, darling.

I am so sick and in shock. The Colonel Ramon and his wife and family are in my prayers, along with the families of all the brave individuals who have perished in this terrible incident.
I really think we should honor their memory by pressing further into space exploration, not withdrawing in fear. They wouldnt want that. They died for a cause bigger than themselves, and they should be honored along with the others who have died in this noble endeavour.
Colonel Ramon was a man who contributed far more to our world than the average man. He inspired the world with his actions and conduct on this flight. I will always remember him in my prayers.
G-d bless all of these heroes
To: MadIvan
Thank you so much for posting this separately. My heart breaks for the families of these brave explorers.

Thank you for the thread, Ivan.

But probably of greatest resonance is a picture drawn by a 14-year-old Jewish boy name Peter Ginz before he was killed in Auschwitz in 1944. Just as the Jews as a people survived the horrors of the Holocaust to rise again, but never forget, so shall the people of Israel and America grieve now, yet rise again to the skies above. But we'll never forget this sad, brutal day. I have a double pain in my heart.

I pray for the families of the astronauts. I pray for the American, Israeli, and Indian people. I pray that Israel will heal from this and encourage more of their citizenry into space. Let this tragedy not be the first and final flight of an Israeli. Let it be a reminder of the sacrifices that he gave for his country. Let this be a reminder that yet again, America stands with Israel in happiness and sorrow. God Bless America, Israel, and India.
