Laurence Simon has this to say about the Columbia diaster:
I received an e-mail a few minutes ago wondering how many results of the experiments on the shuttle had been reported back and how many have been lost forever.
I know of at least one experiment that survived.
The experiment of democracy in the Middle East.
Mission Specialist Colonel Ilan Ramon voted in the Israeli elections.
He participated in a free, unfettered choice in his country’s leadership.
No other country in that region can claim such a thing.
The experiment will continue. And flourish.
