I personally like the tribute video to Columbia. :'(
I was only 10 going on 11 when I was watching Columbia disintegrate on the news.
HAIL COLUMBIA!

I remember Columbia like it was yesterday.  I was standing on top of my house waiting for her to fly over.  I saw her for a few seconds as she partially rose above the horizon...then she disappeared.  I went into the house a few minutes later only to hear mission control trying to contact her.  Hail Columbia and her crew!
