Remember space heroes Crawler passes weight test today at 1:58 p.m. for Return to Flight

V From The Center Director: In 2004, Administrator Sean O’Keefe designated the last Thursday in January as NASA Remembrance Day, which this year is today. At 1:58 p.m., I ask that each of you join me as we pause for a moment of silence to remember all these dedicated, courageous people and the legacy they left behind. Immediately afterward, on NASA TV, our International Space Station crew will pay tribute, as well. May we continue to remember them all as we embark on a safe Return to Flight and pursue our bold new Vision for Space Exploration.
