16 janv. 2003 - Major Event 1 (2003)

Description:

On January 16th The Space Shuttle Columbia takes off for mission STS-107 which would be its last mission. Sadly, the shuttle disintegrated 16 days later on re-entry killing seven crew members. This is significant because NASA shut down any shuttle launches so that they could investigate the disaster. They found out that there was a giant piece of the external tank that fell off and resulted in a fatality breach.
