For any space people in the UK, on Channel 5 at 8pm on Tuesday, there is a documentary called The True Story: Columbia's Final Flight.
I just thought I'd post and say, because from the trailer it looks quite interesting, and, at least in the TV guide I get it's barely mentioned

Here's the description from Channel 5:
quote:Historical documentary looking at the space shuttle Columbia's final mission. On February 1, 2003, the flagship of NASA's fleet disintegrated in the sky above Texas, with the loss of all onboard. The subsequent investigation found that the accident was caused by a hole in the shuttle's wing punched by a chunk of falling foam. This documentary combines dramatic reconstructions with eyewitness testimony to examine the final hour of the doomed flight.
