The following day, he posted a public
letter that captured his initial thoughts of the events as they unfolded.
"The world changed today. What I say or do is very minor compared to the
significance of what happened to our country today when it was attacked."
Upon further reflection, Culbertson
said, "It's horrible to see smoke pouring from wounds in your own country
from such a fantastic vantage point. The dichotomy of being on a spacecraft
dedicated to improving life on the earth and watching life being destroyed by
such willful, terrible acts is jolting to the psyche, no matter who you are."
