It was the early morning of 1st of February 2003…and the atmosphere in the NASA Control Room at Kennedy Space Centre was upbeat…although with a bit of jitters and…lot of anxiety. NASA’s space shuttle…Columbia…was in the final leg of its journey back to earth…and was just minutes away from re-entering the earth’s atmosphere
