As a bold fighter pilot, Air Force colonel in the Israeli army, and payload specialist on the Space Shuttle Columbia, he was a role model for many young Israelis. As Israel's first astronaut, he captured the hearts of Jews all around the world and was a national hero and a symbol of hope. Ramon's journey into space occurred as Israelis continued to suffer through a horrendous period of violence, and it helped lift the nation's spirits. For 16 exciting days, Ramon managed to bring a bit of Jewish culture, tradition, and history to the millions of people who followed the space mission. And then tragedy struck: on February 1, 2003 the Space Shuttle Columbia and all seven brave astronauts were destroyed during re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere. Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said, \"The day will come when we will launch more Israeli astronauts into space. I am sure that each and every one of them will carry in his heart the memory of Ilan Ramon, a pioneer in space travel.\" Young readers will be captivated by this biography--with its rich portrait of Ramon in words and photographs--it celebrates the life of an extraordinary man and pays tribute to his enormous courage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jewish Publication Society\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780827607699\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 111\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.08w x 0.29d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Sydney Taylor Book Award - Notable\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Devra Newberger Speregen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38350951907509,"sku":"9780827607699","price":11.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_9c5a991f-6045-4fd2-a2c8-1f53f14f21ce.jpg?v=1611646852","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/ilan-ramon-jewish-star-9780827607699","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
