The Space Shuttle Columbia Disaster
In 2003, Space Shuttle Columbia was just minutes from landing when it broke apart high above Earth, killing all seven astronauts aboard. In this episode, we explore how a routine mission turned tragic, from the unnoticed damage during launch to the catastrophic failure during re-entry. It's a story of foam, fire, and fatal assumptions that reshaped NASA and left a permanent mark on space exploration.
