    Columbia was tragic and truly heart breaking. In a slightly biased fashion I'd like to remind people of Kalpana Chawla, the first woman of Indian origin to go to space who also sadly perished with Columbia. She was one of my first role models growing up as an Indian kid seeing someone achieve something so amazing internationally. The Columbia disaster made me cry as a kid and I will never forget that day.
    Mighty respect to her and the entire crew of Columbia and I am so glad Cmd. Hadfield brought it up since it rarely gets mentioned anymore. We should always remember the sacrifices that have been given for humanity.

    When my daughter was born, there were difficulties in birth and we stayed in hospital for a week. I had recently received Chris's autobiography as a gift and decided that whilst I was cuddling her, I would read it to her.
    Now that she is 6, and we have found out she is autistic, we have also found that she loves watching his videos, just watching him floating around in space whilst doing things that we do on earth.
    Chris's videos aren't just inspiring to people, they are stimulating for some.
