    ​On February 1st 14 years ago, the space Shuttle Columbia disintegrated in the skies over Texas, killing all seven crew members, including Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon, just 16 minutes before its scheduled landing at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

    We remember Israel's first astronaut, Ilan Ramon, with great pride. May his memory, along with the six crew members of the Columbia who perished in the disaster, be blessed.
