Losing Shuttle Columbia

Many are wondering will the loss of Shuttle Columbia change future space travel forever?

Brave explorers take many risks in space travel and on February 1,2003 the world was tragically reminded of those high risks. Seven brave-hearted astronauts lost their lives after traveling six million miles into outer space on shuttle Columbia. The shuttle ripped to tons of tiny pieces just minutes before it was to land. As the nation filled with grief and tears President Bush warmed the nation and spoke " Our journey to space will go on." But NASA has immediately stopped all shuttle flights until further due. America is left wondering about the future of NASA and other space programs.

Anti-War Demonstrators

     At the anti-war demonstration in San Francisco on January 18, 2003, 55,000 people protested about the war against Iraq.  Protestors had this message for President Bush:  Find a peaceful solution to the crisis with Iraq.  Protestors marched waving anti-war signs.  Demonstrators hope that President Bush will see that many Americans don't support his decision on the war with Iraq.  Even if the Presiedent does not see eye-to-eye with them, they won't give up hope.
