I was there with Patrick and the rest. We did notice an event but were not sure if it was normal or unusual. Patric was the only experience obsurver and he was not alarmed. I have pictures and have sent them to Patrick so he can publish them on his web. I did catch the flair that MAY have been the begining of tragedy.

Deb,

I take it at that time nobody there in the St. George
area noticed anything amiss with the spacecraft?

I feel heartsick over this horrible tragedy; a
terrible blow to space exploration and another grim
reminder just how much risk there is to the brave men
and women who are willing to commit to the frontiers
of discovery.

I sure hope this doesn't set things back too far at
NASA, like the aftermath of the Challenger accident
did.

And, if only the Bush admin. had as much interest in
scientific exploration as they seem to have in taking
down Saddam... sigh!
