A moment of silence.
For both the crew of the Columbia and, most likely, NASA's Shuttle Program.

As far as I'm aware there's still a Russian Soyuz module on the ISS, so the crew can get down safely without any further launches from either country. Russia will probably continue its twice-yearly flights to replace the docked Soyuz module and do crew changes.

A good point.
More reason why only time will tell what will happen.
