Rehovot's Kaplan Medical Center's Emergency Medicine Department Named in Ilan Ramon's Memory
A Jewish astronaut asked Ilan Ramon's widow for mementos from the late Israeli astronaut to take on a shuttle mission in 2007.
Garrett Reisman, 38, will fly to the International Space Station in 15 months.
He underwent training and became friends with Ramon, who died in the Columbia shuttle crash in 2003.
At Rona Ramon's invitation, Reisman attended a ceremony Tuesday in Rehovot, Israel, naming the Kaplan Medical Center's new emergency medicine department in Ilan Ramon's memory.
It was so incredibly tragic, Reisman told the Jerusalem Post.
Ilan had a great sense of humor and worked very hard to represent not only Israel but every Jew in the world.
