Video: Ilan Ramon, first Israeli astronaut, and crew from space shuttle Columbia see Israel from space

I have just received an amazing video that shows Ilan Ramon, the first Israeli astronaut, and the rest of the crew of the space shuttle Columbia, while they comment on seeing Israel... from space:


The State of Israel seen from Space

In the video, you can see astronaut and hero David Brown, while the space shuttle crew comments on their flight over Egypt, the Sinai Peninsula and Israel.

For more information on Ilan Ramon and the space shuttle Columbia please read:

These is absolutely phenominal! I was in Israel just this past March and it brings chills to me, to actually see Israel from the video of the Columbia. As I saw the cloud over Jeruasalem, it made me think that's how God broods over His beloved City, as a hen would brood over her chicks. I'm sure thankful that those on the Columbia got to see this, not knowing what was ahead for them. Thanks for making this available to us!

It would represent more of humanity to embrace the Palestinians when referring to this picture from Columbia and not just mention Isreal can be seen.
