Mr. King, who was the Marshall Space Flight Center Director at the time, said the agency had expected to recover only about 10% of the Shuttle, but ended up recovering 45%. The debris was spread out over a 250 mile area around rural parts of Texas and Louisiana. The Shuttle exploded while re-entering the Earth's atmosphere on February 1, 2003. It was later discovered that a piece of foam had damaged the Shuttle's underside during takeoff when it became dislodged from the main fuel tank. All seven crew members died in the explosion. This event was part of a conference hosted by George Washington University's Elliot School of International Affairs on the 10th anniversary of the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/311395-3 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/311395-3 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 00:00:00 GMT Panelists talked about the lessons learned from the Columbia Space Shuttle tragedy ten years later.
