Space Shuttle Columbia: The Final Flight

This series stated tonight on CNN. I was professionally and personally involved with the people associated with the Columbia mission, disaster, and recovery. The first show proved to have a more emotional impact on me than I expected. I look forward to the other three episodes. I hope CNN presents an honest assessment of the disaster.

I was around for both. It stunned the nation. Excellent documentaries, and alongside NASA's 400 pg report.; point to the same normalization of deviance that claimed both vehicles.

Looking forward to CNN's following presentations.

@SethGreene531 NASA's report was interesting. I wonder how many people read it. I found a copy in the JSC library and found it fascinating.

@exexec The meticulous data analysis of the CE and mechanics of the ensuing breakup; make one wonder if they suffered more than most realize.
