Twenty-three years ago today, seven astronauts never made it home when we lost space shuttle Columbia. It was a tragedy that changed space exploration and reminded us of its incredible risks. I think about their families every Feb. 1st. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Soooo. . . Congress is in session?
A massive pipe rupture has sent sewage spilling into the Potomac River. The spill of about 40 million gallons of sewage a day is turning part of the river gray upriver of Washington, D.C.

Thailand said it used F-16 fighter jets to bomb Cambodian military targets on Monday to retaliate against cross-border firing that killed at least one Thai soldier, in a sharp escalation of a dispute between the two nations that President Trump claimed to have ended.
Thailand Launches Airstrikes on Cambodia in New Wave of Violence
Each side accused the other of firing first. The fighting came weeks after President Trump had cast himself as a peacemaker in the decades-old border dispute.
