God's Hand Was Involved
An Israeli astronaut's diary that survived the explosion of the
space shuttle Columbia and a 37-mile fall to earth are going on
display this weekend for the first time in Jerusalem.
A little over two months after the shuttle explosion, NASA searchers
found 37 pages from Ramon's diary, wet and crumpled, in a field just
outside the U.S. town of Palestine, Texas. The diary survived extreme
heat in the explosion, extreme atmospheric cold, and then "was
attacked by microorganisms and insects" in the field where it fell,
said museum curator Yigal Zalmona.
"It's almost a miracle that it survived — it's incredible," Zalmona
said. There is "no rational explanation" for how it was recovered when
most of the shuttle was not, he said.6
