Lives were lost in 2003 when technology on which space shuttle failed?
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.
