The Apollo, Challenger, and Columbia: Legacy and Lessons Learned takes you back in time on a journey to 2003 as Columbia prepares for its 28th mission into space. Experience the emotional and physical recovery from the STS-107 accident and engage in an extensive conversation on an array of powerful lessons that Columbia teaches us today.
