- I remember the incident, two men were killed while working inside the engine
- compartment of Columbia in March, 1981. This was prior to the maiden flight
- of the Space Shuttle, when ground procedures were still new and uncertain.
- I've forgotten the two men's names, but they wofor Rockwell.

- If memory serves, STS-1 astronauts Young and Crippen paid tribute to those
- two men while in orbit.
