Today, there\u2019s an added emphasis on the shuttle Columbia\u2019s last crew, due to the 15th anniversary of that tragedy. The Kennedy Space Center ceremony in Florida featured a performance by musician Tal Ramon&nbsp; son of Ilan Ramon, Israel\u2019s first astronaut and one of the Columbia casualties. \u201cAfter everything that happened, even with the big tragedy, we believe that it\u2019s such a big victory that we are here today to share their stories,\u201d Florida Today quoted Ramon as telling the audience.
