Primary responsibilities for the AFSCN and Air Force support to Space Shuttle missions transferred to the 21st Space Operations Squadron, 50th Space Wing, Schriever AFB, Colorado; however the 22d Space Operations Squadron stood up at Onizuka AFS to provide a necessary backup.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “Man watches his history on the screen with apathy and an occasional passing flicker of horror or indignation.”
    —Conor Cruise O’Brien (b. 1917)

    “Jesus Christ belonged to the true race of the prophets. He saw with an open eye the mystery of the soul. Drawn by its severe harmony, ravished with its beauty, he lived in it, and had his being there. Alone in all history he estimated the greatness of man.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “When the coherence of the parts of a stone, or even that composition of parts which renders it extended; when these familiar objects, I say, are so inexplicable, and contain circumstances so repugnant and contradictory; with what assurance can we decide concerning the origin of worlds, or trace their history from eternity to eternity?”
    —David Hume (1711–1776)
