  1. Bellevue College president David May: “This rededication is more than a rededication of a piece of art. It represents, for me, a rededication of the college to the values that we seek to live by.” It’s community conversation and dialogue seeking to create a discourse to confront the pale suppressing hand of white supremacy. Congratulations to the college, the community and the artist, Erin Shigaki.

  2. #nasa #dayofremembrance

    I remember 40 years ago today, when I was in second grade, passing the post office and asking my mom why the flags were lowered.

    She explained the #Challenger tragedy.

    We lost
    Francis R. Scobee, Commander
    Michael J. Smith, Pilot
    Donald McNair, Mission Spec
    Ellison Onizuka, Mission Spec
    Judith Resnik, Mission Spec
    Gregory Jarvis, Payload Spec
    Christa McAuliffe, Payload Spec

    We know why it happened - and nasa instituted many changes intended to improve our safety profile. The entire agency trains on that this day every year.

    A few years later, I personally benefitted from the nasa program in memory of teacher Christa McAuliffe.

    My 5th grade science teacher built us a dream science lab. It was a real inspiration for me.
    Some kid in flyover country.

    One day, a reporter from the local paper even stopped by, and I attach that front page below. You can guess which one is me.

  4. On this day, it's critical that acknowledge that we've seen before what's now happening.

    In the 1930ies the world leaders could have stopped Fascism & the Holocaust, but did not.

    Let's not dishonor this day by repeating the same mistakes #DayofRemembrance

  8. "NASA’s Day of Remembrance Honors Fallen Heroes of Exploration" press release: the #NASA #DayOfRemembrance will be January 23. Events are listed for 7 NASA centers. But probably every NASA site will observe in some way. This is always held in late January due to the coincidental timing within a week of the anniversaries of Apollo 1 fire (3 lost) 1967-01-27, Challenger explosion (7 lost) 1986-01-28 and Columbia re-entry accident (7 lost) 2003-02-01. nasa.gov/news-release/nasas-da #space #history

  10. On February 19, 1942, the President of the United States authorized our government to incarcerate Americans simply because they looked like the enemy.

    More than 110,000 American citizens and immigrants of Japanese ancestry were forced to give up their homes, businesses, and ways of life.

    It was one of our worst civil liberties disasters.

  12. If you're in the neighborhood (#Honolulu, that is) you might want to swing by this event with @georgetakei at the #Hawaii Betsuin, a #JodoShinshu #Buddhist temple. Tix are a bit pricey but proceeds go towards some very good causes. #Buddhism #ShinBuddhism #DayOfRemembrance #JapaneseAmericans hawaiibetsuin.org/event/george

  14. In 2014 when I attended a #NASASocial to cover #SpaceX #CRS3 #CargoDragon launch to #ISS, #NASA gave a tour of the Vehicle Assembly Building. There's an #STS107 sign on the wall where recovered parts from Columbia were stored after the investigation. #DayOfRemembrance #space #history

  16. One of the #STS107 Columbia eyewitnesses, Chris Valentine, got copies of videos from eyewitnesses (same ones as entered into accident investigation evidence) and synced them in a timeline with Mission Control audio. youtube.com/watch?v=CQ1BfJZgMN #DayOfRemembrance #space #history

  18. Ad Astra per Aspera... In the ruins of Onizuka AFS, Sunnyvale, California was an off the books Space Shuttle Columbia Memorial. It was behind what was the tank and antenna farm for the Blue Cube. It has been vandalized beyond recognition now sadly. I came across it in 2018 and tried to get the USAF or NASA to at least try to preserve it to no avail.

    To the crew of STS 107, your courage will never be forgotten.

  20. When we organized gatherings in 2004 & 2005 in SJ for #STS107 Columbia photographers & eyewitnesses, we found everyone who went out to see the re-entry experienced a mourning reaction as if we knew the crew, unlike those who saw it on news. #NASA #DayOfRemembrance #space #history

  22. Mt Hamilton near San Jose was unique on the 1000+ mile corridor where #STS107 eyewitnesses met each other that morning. I was talking via Ham Radio with Don AA6W who was on the Santa Cruz Mountains. Everywhere else eyewitnesses were alone. (Many eyewitnesses on Mt Hamilton met when we all pulled over at a turnout near the summit after viewing the re-entry pass.) #NASA #DayOfRemembrance #space #history

  24. #STS107 is personal for me. On Feb 1, 2003 I drove up Mt Hamilton to get above the fog and see the pre-dawn Columbia re-entry. I became an eyewitness to disaster, a billowing smoke trail instead of the expected meteor streak of prior re-entries. #DayOfRemembrance #space #history
