Hard to believe that 20 years ago, I got a call from my dad telling me they'd lost the orbiter and that he and mom wouldn't be coming home for a while as they stayed at JSC to figure out what happened. Sharing their experience again today

20 years ago Columbia and her crew: Rick, Willy, Dave, KC, Michael, Laura, Illan. We honor their memory, their courage and sacrifice. Entirely fitting. But for those of us in the industry, we must learn from the accident so as to prevent future ones.

Quote Tweet
We were informed today that the company is laying off around 7 percent of its workforce, and some of our members have been impacted.
We're furious at the way the company has approached these layoffs, and are currently discussing how to best serve those who just lost their jobs.
