COLUMBIA: a countdown frozen in time

Filed under: Space Shuttle Columbia — semi @ 12:53 pm

At a certain point, when there is no more news and the full weight of the tragedy begins to settle in, it is wise to turn off the TV and radio and just talk. I tried calling my brother in Texas, but had to leave a message. There is no new news, just opportunities to comfort.

On the web, most of the major news sites simply repeat what we already know, or point to continuing coverage in other media. Perhaps the most poignant examination of this breaking tragedy can be found at SPACE.COM. Below headlines with updating news directly from NASA is the mission clock, counting down to the expected landing. That counter is now blank.
