Summary: The true story of the disaster that everyone predicted, but no one seemed able to stop. Just after it entered the Earth's atmosphere on 1st February 2003, and only minutes from the end of its 16-day mission, Space Shuttle Columbia exploded over Texas, USA, instantly killing the seven astronauts on board and leaving a mass of controversy in its wake. What really happened that fatal day, and who is to blame? How serious were the warnings of the impending crisis before the space shuttle took flight. And how vulnerable was the shuttle's design? Even more contentiously, did NASA realise the extent of the damage while the astronauts were up in the space station and could they have brought them down another way.
