CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA is honoring the seven astronauts killed aboard shuttle Columbia 15 years ago, with a special musical tribute by the son of Israel's first astronaut.
Singer and songwriter Tal Ramon traveled from Israel for Thursday's ceremony at Kennedy Space Center. It was just his second trip back since his father was killed on Feb. 1, 2003. All seven astronauts — including Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon (EE-Lahn Ruh-MONE) — died when Columbia shattered in the skies over Texas, just minutes before a Florida touchdown.
