Columbia - Final Voyage
With all of this talk about Columbia I'm intrigued by the book
"Columbia - Final Voyage". I've seen a bunch of Phil Chien's stories online and always enjoyed his insightful questions in the press conferences, but hadn't heard that he had written a book. I checked out his website (http://www.sts107.info) and it looks interesting, certainly some excellent reviews and endorsements. So what do people who have actually read the book think? Does the book have information which hasn't been presented elsewhere or is it just regurgitating old information? Does it offer any more information about the astronauts? How good is the CD-ROM? I'm now in England and I can order the book from Amazon.co.uk but how can I get the CD? Is the CD worth it? Thoughts? Ted Collins |

Columbia - Final Voyage
I believe it was also the final ABL voyage, and the end of Phill
Condit's career. It's almost as though Phill Condit had to take the fall for something other, no matters what. - Brad Guth |

Works) ABL voyage, and the end of Phil Condit's career. It's almost as though Philip Condit had to take the fall for having done something other, no matters what. - Brad Guth |

I purchased it based on his reputation and was throughly impressed. The book offers some amazing insights into the astronauts. He really did know them and it shows - this is not just the canned NASA bios or folks who knew the astronauts talking about them, this is up close personal information about them. I cried when I read some of the more touching stories about some of the crewmembers - there's lots of new information here which I never saw anywhere and I was collecting information about the crew left and right after the accident. Absolutely amazing! How good is the CD-ROM? I'm now in England and I can order the book from Amazon.co.uk but how can I get the CD? Is the CD worth it? I actually like the CD better than the book. In the book you read about Phil joking with the astronauts, on the CD you actually hear the sound clip. At first it was a little creepy to hear the voices of the Columbia astronauts 'speaking from the dead' so to speak, but as I listened to what they said it was fascinating - the astronauts talking about their passion for their work, their lives, and even talking about the more embarassing things which had happened to them in the past. No idea how you can get the CD in England though, I was lucky enough to get my copy directly from Phil Chien when I met him at a book signing in Florida. In any case get the book - I highly recommend it. Alex Harris |

Columbia - Final Voyage
Wow, that would be a great set of questions WERE THEY NOT SHILL
QUESTIONS COMING FROM THE AUTHOR HIMSELF ON HIS OWN IP ADDRESS. Get a life, Ted.. or rather, Phil. Very pathetic, hope your falsified career is blown over these exposes on Wired. http://www.wired.com/news/culture/me...l?tw=rss.index wrote: With all of this talk about Columbia I'm intrigued by the book "Columbia - Final Voyage".

Hi Alex..err Phil, having fun replying to your own faked alias hotmail
accounts? I'll bet you are. Hope you equally have fun being the world's Internet laughingstock today. alex wrote: wrote: With all of this talk about Columbia I'm intrigued by the book "Columbia - Final Voyage".

Please tell me that you aren't Phil too... Maybe we are all Phil Chien? Nah... Dale BTW, I'm afraid your use of caps caused me to skip over your post. Most of the time, that indicates a nut to me. Sorry. |

You're a real piece of work, aren't you Phil, or Ted, or Rob (Robert Stevens) or Alex. Who are you tomorrow? I think you're done now, pal. I also read Wired magazine. That's how I found about you. http://www.wired.com/news/culture/me...tw=wn_index_19 |
