With all of the coverage of the Columbia disaster I have seen a
video clip about which I have a question. The tape shows the crew as
they prepare to enter the vehicle used for transport to the launch pad.
As they leave the building most of the crew makes a special effort
to reach up to the top of the door opening and touch something. It
appears to be a ritual of good luck or perhaps remembrance of some
kind . Does anyone know what they are touching and why?
