Undone   /     The Columbia

Description

In 2003 the space shuttle Columbia was returning from two weeks in orbit. It was a routine mission. So routine that most of America barely paid attention. Until something went terribly wrong. Many of us watched shuttle break apart over Texas on television. All seven of the crew members were lost. Jon Clark’s wife, Laurel, was one of them, and her death that day inspired his life’s work: helping get more people to space.Undone is hosted and produced by Pat Walters, with Julia DeWitt and Emanuele Berry.Our senior producer is Larissa Anderson.
