Columbia - 16 Minutes from Home

 

 February 1, 2003

16 Minutes from home.  A beautiful beginning and a tragic ending.  Shuttle Columbia lifted off from Cape Canaveral at 10:39 a.m. on January 16, 2003.  The shuttle was due home at 9:16 a.m. on February 1, 2003.  At 9:00 a.m. Columbia began to break apart over Littlefield, Texas and fragmented into the skies over Texas. The debris struck with such force and heat that it burned and scorched the earth. Remnants are a mute testimony to the devastation.
