Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. On February 1, 2003, the unthinkable happened. The space shuttle Columbia disintegrated 37 miles above Texas, seven brave astronauts were killed and America's space program, always an eyeblink from disaster, suffered its second catastrophic in-flight failure. Unlike the Challenger disaster 17 years earlier, Columbia's destruction left the nation one failure away from the potential abandonment of human space exploration. Media coverage in the immediate aftermath focused on the possible cause of the disaster, and on the nation's grief. But the full human story, and the shocking details of NASA's crucial mistakes, have never been told -- until now. Based on dozens of exclusive interviews, never-before-published documents and recordings of key meetings obtained by the authors, Comm Check takes the reader inside the conference rooms and offices where NASA's best and brightest managed the nation's multi-billion-dollar shuttle program -- and where they failed to recognize the signs of an impending disaster. It is the story of a space program pushed to the brink of failure by relentless political pressure, shrinking budgets and flawed decision making. The independent investigation into the disaster uncovered why Columbia broke apart in the sky above Texas. Comm Check brings that story to life with the human drama behind the tragedy. Michael Cabbage and William Harwood, two of America's most respected space journalists, are veterans of all but a handful of NASA's 113 shuttle missions. Tapping a network of sources and bringing a combined three decades of experience to bear, the authors provide a rare glimpse into NASA's inner circles, chronicling the agency's most devastating failure and the challenges that face NASA as it struggles to return America to space. Published on the first anniversary of the tragic breakup of the Columbia Space Shuttle, this is the human story behind the headlines, along with a searing investigation into the mistakes that led to the catastrophe. 16-page photo insert. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Add to basketHardcover with dust jacket. First Edition. First Edition. - - A terrible sense of deja vu came over members of Kennedy's film review team as they saw the first images of Columbia's climb to orbit. A massive chunk of foam had broken away from the shuttle's external fuel tank at 81 seconds after launch and smashed into Columbia's left wing somewhere near the leading edge, resulting in a spectacular shower of particles. Exclamations and curses filled the film lab. This time, however, the impact wasn't on one of the shuttles boosters as it had been two launches earlier. It was on the orbiter itself. - The uncertainty made it more critical than ever that engineers pinpoint the precise location of the debris strike. Launch films of the impact shed little light on the mystery. Engineers rapidly were coming to the realization that it would be impossible to have any confidence in their damage assessment without photos of Columbia in orbit. - Shuttle managers saw no need. They were confident the incident posed little threat to Columbia's seven astronauts. After all, it was only foam. Foam had been coming off the shuttles tank since the first launch in 1981. It had never had been a serious safety threat in the past, only a headache for workers who had to repair the orbiters before they returned to space. NASA officials felt certain Columbia and her crew would be fine. - They were wrong. 321 p. photos very good condition, with a name label of the previous owner.
