Service Held Where Shuttle Was to Land

Cape Canaveral, Fla., Feb. 4 — The engineers, workers and contractors who helped launch space shuttle Columbia will remember the seven astronauts who died during a memorial service at the runway where the shuttle was supposed to land, officials said today.
The memorial service at the Kennedy Space Center was scheduled for 8:15 a.m. Friday.

"It will be almost at the touchdown point," said NASA spokesman Bruce Buckingham.

The Kennedy Space Center service was one of three scheduled to honor the astronauts.

President Bush was scheduled to attend a memorial service at Johnson Space Center in Houston today. Vice President Dick Cheney and NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe were scheduled to attend a second service at the National Cathedral in Washington.


The families of the astronauts have also released a statement: "...although we grieve deeply, as do the families of Apollo 1 and Challenger before us, the bold exploration of space must go on. And once the root cause of this tragedy is found and corrected, the legacy of Columbia must carry on for the benefit of our children and yours."
