The Space Shuttle That Fell to Earth
9pm, BBC Two
“When I looked up, I saw a bright, white ball.” This three-parter opens with home footage and witnesses recalling the space shuttle Columbia exploding after it launched for the 28th time in 2003. It then speaks to insiders and the crew’s family members as it rewinds back to a month before liftoff, when Nasa grounded its entire shuttle fleet after cracks were discovered in the fuel lines.
