HabitableZone/Columbia updated

I've been working on the Columbia page today. Spent a lot of time locating NASA technical reports on the subject of the Shuttle's Thermal Protection System, particularly damage thereof by debris at launch.

I set up the sensor timeline slides (Kim Keller posted a message alerting us) in a sort of "flip book" arrangement. Being able to go through the slides like that really gives me a sense of how events unfolded. It looks like all the action was in the wheel well, and the sensors going offline was probably caused by a cable common to them (the orange cable, Tom) being burnt through.

Lots of miscellaneous items, like the StarFire photo. I tried to clean up the layout to make better sense of all the items. There's a lot of stuff there!
