About this listen

In 1981, Columbia made history as the first spacecraft of its kind to orbit Earth, completing an impressive 27 missions over more than two decades. During the tragic STS-107 mission, Columbia and its dedicated crew traveled over six million miles in just 16 days. The Orbiter was destroyed just 16 minutes before its scheduled landing, serving as a stark reminder that spaceflight, while awe-inspiring, carries inherent risks that must always be acknowledged. The seven brave astronauts aboard Columbia believed the potential rewards outweighed these dangers, and this report stands as a tribute to their courage and legacy. Join us as we delve into the details of this pivotal moment in space history. - Summary from the Board Report Note Volumes 2-6 are supporting documents and transcripts not included in this recording.
