Default Phil Chien has book on Columbia disaster


I got this note from Phil and am happy to pass it along.
(My only quibble is I don't call the Columbia disaster
an 'accident', neither was 'challenger' -- but 'consequences'.)


I am pleased to announce that my website http://www.sts107.info is now open
and running. It's a preview for my book "Columbia - Final Voyage" which
will be coming out this Spring from Springer Books through their Copernicus
imprint. The website is just a teaser with all of the menus and text, but
only a couple of full size images, audio files, and other content. The
book's CD-ROM will have all of that information. The website will have the
latest information on when the book's going to be available and ordering
information when I get that information.

"Columbia - Final Voyage' is a look at the STS-107 mission. Not at the
accident but the mission and the people. Only a handful of reporters
actually covered the STS-107 mission and many of my space program
associates encouraged me to tell the story of the people and the mission -
not the story of the accident.
