BBC 2 9.00pm - The Space Shuttle that fell to Earth

I have seen all the above programs, but worth watching again in my opinion.

From what I can see, the BBC are treating the Columbia loss as more of a drama than a scientific investigation , typical Beeb.

The incomparable Scott Manley has a deep analysis on YT

The Guardian gave the Columbia docu-series a great review https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2024/feb/12/the-space-shuttle-that-fell-to-earth-review-a-moving-tribute-to-the-astronauts-who-lost-their-lives-in-the-columbia-disaster

Did you watch it? 

[DaveS]

Yes, and thought it was pretty good.

[callisto]

Yeah, it was very moving and interesting at the same time.

The Columbia documentary has started off very well I think- exploring the whole thing from very human angles.

I'm looking forward to the next installment.

Watched episode 2 of The Space Shuttle That Fell To Earth last night and, it certainly raises some questions about the ethos and decision making processes at NASA at the time.

I think there will be some tearful interviews of engineers and managers in episode 3.

[DaveS]

Yeah, watching ep2 it could be said that the crew were killed by protocol and procedure, it made me upset and angry in equal measure.

I hadn't seen the recovered footage of the crew as reentry started, though I did know, from the Scott Manley YT analysis, that some photos had been recovered intact.
