Friday marks the 10th anniversary of the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster, which killed all seven crew members including Lubbock native, William McCool.
The shuttle broke apart on re-entry and scattered debris over a wide area of Texas.
A special exhibit at the Silent Wings Museum commemorates the anniversary.
The exhibit particularly focuses on the lives of Rick Husband and Willie McCool, the pilot and co-pilot of the Columbia, who were both West Texans.
A reception and brief program will begin at 3:00 p.m. at the Silent Wings Museum and the exhibit will be on display until March 17th.
