Who said that “the earth appeared to be stationary"?
Answers
Answer:
Ilan Ramon z”l, killed in the Columbia space shuttle accident in 2003, was a hero to both secular and religious Israelis, a symbol of proud Judaism to the Diaspora, and a figure of admiration and respect to scientists throughout the world. A jet fighter pilot in the Israeli Air Force, he had taken part in a mission to destroy an Iraqi nuclear reactor before becoming an astronaut. Chosen to be a member of the Columbia space shuttle team, he saw himself as a representative of the Jewish people in entirety. He requested kosher food, inquired about Sabbath observance in space, and carried with him a miniature Torah scroll that had been smuggled into the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp—all this, though secular in his personal practice. Ramon is justifiably famous for being the first Israeli in space, but when the International Astronomical Union (IAU) named a lunar crater after him in 2006, he joined other Jews whose accomplishments were recognized by their fellow scientists and commemorated by the lunar craters that bear their names.
At many points throughout history, the fellowship of scientists has transcended the boundaries of time and nationality. Scientists who share a thirst for knowledge were not always bound by prejudice when they encountered knowledge, techniques, or tools that aided their quest, and occasionally they displayed a remarkable generosity of spirit in recognizing and rewarding these contributors. The craters that are named for certain medieval Jewish scientists are a testament to this spirit and to the passion that united people of disparate languages and faiths in a time not known for tolerance.
