I went back to the Columbia page and reread this;

"It is today that we remember and honor the crews of Apollo 1 and Challenger. They made the ultimate sacrifice, giving their lives and service to their country and for all mankind. Their dedication and devotion to the exploration of space was an inspiration to each of us, and still motivates people around the world to achieve great things and service to others."

No doubt the MER team is proud of there support and contribution of their memory.

Well done!
