About This Item

Giant Leap for Man Kind

This is in tribute of John F. Kennedy and his dream he did not get to stay around for.  Also a friend of mine Dr. Paul Ronney. Who should have been on Shuttle mission STS-107 but was bumped to make room for Ilan Ramon (Colonel, Israel Air Force).  Yes, this is the Shuttle that blew up on re-entry.

STS-107 was a space shuttle mission by NASA using the Space Shuttle Columbia, launched January 16, 2003. The seven-member crew was killed on February 1, 2003 when the shuttle disintegrated during re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere. The cause of the accident was a piece of foam that broke off during launch and damaged the thermal protection system components (reinforced carbon-carbon panels and thermal protection tiles) on the leading edge of the left wing of the Shuttle orbiter, causing an extensive heat build-up. During re-entry the damaged wing slowly overheated and came apart, eventually leading to loss of control and total disintegration of the vehicle.

We were collecting TB's for our road trip, and we came across this guy. I think we can help him in his Eastward journey to Virginia now.

Left him at the publicly accessible part of NASA Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, Mountain View, CA. He has a view of the world's largest wind tunnel and a 1/3 scale mockup of the space shuttle.
