I remember watching for the streak in the sky…

On February 1, 2003, the space shuttle Columbia disintegrated over Texas just 16 minutes before it was due to land. All seven astronauts aboard perished, including Amarillo’s own Rick Husband, and the implications for the future of the space shuttle program were enormous. What caused the Columbia tragedy? Through interviews with astronauts and their families, as well as with members of the Columbia Accident Investigation Board, "Space Shuttle Disaster" gives viewers a new look at the Columbia tragedy - and at NASA itself.
