Space and Things

On February 1st 2003, the crew of the STS107 mission were returning home from space on the Space Shuttle Columbia when tragedy struck. It’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years. To mark this, we talk to Jonathan Ward, co-author of the brilliant book “Bringing Columbia Home” - the inside story of the disaster and the recovery and how the darkest hours can bring the best out of people. The book won the Space hipsters book price for best book released in 2018.Bringing Columbia Home: https://www.skyhorsepublishing.com/arcade-publishing/9781628728514/bringing-columbia-home/Jonathan Ward: https://www.jonathanhward.com/author/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanward/ Full show notes: https://spaceandthingspodcast.com/podcast/stp126-remembering-columbia-20-years-on-with-jonathan-ward Show notes include links to all articles mentioned and full details of our guests and links to what caught our eye this week.Image Credits: NASASpace and Things:Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/spaceandthings1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spaceandthingspodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/spaceandthingspodcast/Merch and Info: https://www.spaceandthingspodcast.comPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/SpaceandthingsBusiness Enquiries: info@andthingsproductions.comSpace and Things is brought to you And Things Productions https://www.andthingsproductions.com
