Saturday, February 1, 2003, was a tragic day for the United States space program. Seven astronauts lost their lives when something went wrong as the Space Shuttle Columbia was re-entering the Earth's atmosphere from space. The Space Shuttle started coming apart about 200,000 feet above Texas. These astronauts were selected from different cultures, races, and religious backgrounds - one was born in India and one lived in Israel. The mission in which these astronauts were on shows how our world can come together to achieve a single goal. Write a story to describe one or several other ways in which you think our world could come together to achieve a common goal.
