I can never say enough about Rick Husband. He was a man of excellent character, who stayed true to his convictions and faith no matter the circumstance, and who always put his family first even when he landed his dream job of becoming an astronaut. He was witty, had a great sense of humor and optimism, and knew how to lift the spirits of others. And his most favorite movie was Young Frankenstein, which he could quote word-for-word.
He loved his crew so much. It was so evident in the way he interacted with them even from what little we are able to see from footage left behind. Each one of them brought something so unique to the mission, and Rick recognized that and helped them become not just a tight-knit crew, but a family. They were family.
Happy Birthday, Rick. You’ll always be my hero.
Rick Husband’s first trip into space was STS-96 on board shuttle Discovery. It was also the first time a shuttle had docked with the International Space Station, and it carried various parts and payload for its construction.

Via Flickr: Backdropped against white clouds and blue ocean waters, the International Space Station (ISS) moves away from the Space Shuttle Discovery. The U.S.- built Unity node (top) and the Russian-built Zarya or FGB module (with the solar array panels deployed) were joined during a December 1998 mission. A portion of the work performed on the May 30 space walk by astronauts Tamara E. Jernigan and Daniel T.Barry is evident at various points on the ISS, including the installation of the Russian-built crane (called Strela). Image # : STS096-333-021

The STS-96 mission, of almost 10 days, was the second International Space Station (ISS) assembly and resupply flight and the first flight to dock with the station. The crew installed foot restraints and the Russian built crane, STRELA. The Shuttle's SPACEHAB double module carried internal and resupply cargo for station outfitting and the Russian cargo crane was carried aboard the shuttle in the integrated Cargo Carrier (ICC).

found these in a Google search and I feel like crying... two very sweet photos of a very young Rick and Evelyn Husband.
was Rick not the most handsome young man tho ; ;
Rick Douglas Husband, Columbia's final commander, would have turned 55 today.
Rick was a colonel in the Air Force who had dreams of flying into space since he was four years old. His determination and perseverance, deep faith in God, and the support from his family helped him achieve that dream and so much more.
He flew into space twice. Though he never returned home on his second flight, of which he was the commander, he did in fact make it home to meet his Heavenly Father.
His good friend from England, Angus MacLane, said these words of him:
He was a great patriot. He loved his country and would never speak ill of someone else's country. He was thrilled to be part of the space program but loved his family more. He was aware of his faults but the last person to tell you of your faults...
He was totally committed to the things of God. He made people feel as if they mattered. When you were with Rick, he made you feel as though you were the most important person at that moment. He saw himself as someone who had put his faith in God, and God had done wonderful things through him...
He spoke nothing but praise for every crew member. He said, "They're the best of the best." Whatever the unknowns are, I know with certainty that Rick stands in heaven with his Savior, Jesus Christ.
(quoted from "High Calling" by Evelyn Husband)
