NASA marks 20 years since space shuttle Columbia disaster

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — (AP) — NASA marked the 20th anniversary of the space shuttle Columbia tragedy with somber ceremonies and remembrances during its annual tribute to fallen astronauts on Thursday.

Like NASA’s earlier tragedies, Columbia’s loss was avoidable, said former shuttle commander Bob Cabana, now NASA's associate administrator. “I don’t ever want to have to go through another Columbia.”Besides Ramon, Columbia's last crew included commander Rick Husband, pilot Willie McCool, Michael Anderson, Kalpana Chawla, David Brown and Laurel Clark. “There's been a de-emphasis on space because people say, 'Let's worry about problems on Earth as opposed to the future.'
