1957 - 2003

Colonel, USAF, NASA Astronaut, and Mission Commander of the STS-107 Space Shuttle Columbia. Columbia disintegrated upon final re-entry February 1, 2003. All seven astronauts lost their lives.

Rick Husband was Amarillo's native son. He loved his family and he loved serving his Lord. His favorite Bible verse was Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."

"The cause of exploration and discovery is not an option we choose: it is a desire written in the human heart...We find the best among us, send them forth into unmapped darkness, and pray they will return. They go in peace for all mankind, and all mankind is in their debt."
President George W. Bush
