Space Station astronaut's 9/11 message: 'We Will Never Forget'
As solemn ceremonies across the United States mark the devastating terrorist attacks 20 years ago today on Sept. 11, 2001, astronauts in space are also paying tribute from the International Space Station.
NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough, one of seven crewmembers on the station representing the U.S., Russia, Japan and France, beamed a memorial video message to Earth to honor those lost and affected by the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, Pentagon in Washington, D.C. and the Flight 93 crash in Pennsylvania.
"To the victims and their families, survivors and first responders, we remember," Kimbrough said with an American flag floating in the background as he spoke from the station's Japanese Kibo laboratory. "The horrifying images of that day are still present in so many of our minds."
