3.0 out of 5 stars
Not the report I expected, September 24, 2003
This review is from: 2003 Space Shuttle Columbia Tragedy: Official Working Accident Scenario Report of the Columbia Accident Investigation Board and NASA (Final Technical Report July 2003) (Ring-bound)
This is not the report I had previously downloaded from NASA's web site (as a PDF) which was sent to the press. This is the internal NASA report and contains a lot of detailed data analysis and some good diagrams to help you understand what failed. It does not cover any of the work proactice problems or management descisions that are covered in the other report. One point I did note - 8 tools were lost reconditioning Columbia including three screwdrivers, two sockets and a mini flashlight. There are also several mentions of low bolt torque setting on closeout panels and other fittings. All in all not the report I wanted. The paper is average quality and printed on one side only. The pictures are OK but would be better if they were larger and on glossy paper. Would someone plase send me the report that NASA sent to the press? nigel-t@msn.com
