Re: Columbia's trips to space

I am indeed interested in Columbia's past missions. Just last night I started work on adding a section to the Columbia page about that, using the KSC Columbia orbiter page as a starting reference. Thanks for the additional sources in your post--I'll include them. Should be up tonight.

I've commented on this before, but it's impressive how the people at KSC have diligently updated their Web site to reflect the final status of Columbia and STS-107. I'd have understood if it took a while for them to do it, if having to write in many places the phrase "loss of vehicle and crew" was too much to tackle. But they soldiered on, working through the checklist of tasks to close out any Shuttle mission. "Steely-eyed missile men" doing their duty.
