Rick Husband was the Shuttle Commander who died on the Space Shuttle Columbia on February 1, 2003 during re-entry. He was born and raised in Amarillo, TX. They have erected a statue in his honor. I had to stop and take the picture as he is pointing to the heavens which he loved in more ways than one. I'll never forget the sonic boom I thought I heard. The walls in my house actually shook and I ran outside to see a visible line of smoke in the sky. I wasn't aware that it was Columbia breaking apart. About 20 minutes later, I knew what happened after hearing it on the news. Was a very sad day for everyone. He'll forever be missed.
