In 2003, a catastrophic event occurred during the space shuttle Columbia's re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere. Unfortunately, the lives of all seven crew members were lost. The cause of this tragedy was traced back to a failure in the shuttle's thermal protection system, specifically a piece of foam insulation that broke off during liftoff and damaged the shuttle's left wing. This damage ultimately caused the shuttle to disintegrate during re-entry, leading to the loss of the crew members' lives. The accident prompted NASA to reassess and improve their safety procedures to prevent future tragedies.

How has space technology improved from 60 years ago and how has it helped us in further space discoveries today?
Technology has improved in many ways. Telescopes, Space probes and space shuttle along with many other things help us get a better knowledge of space. More powerful telescopes let us see things very far from earth. Good space probes go more far out in space and are able to learn more about space. Space shuttles do the same thing as space probes but only have humans
