90.7 WMFE-FM takes a look back one year after the Space Shuttle Columbia accident, February 1st, with a one-hour documentary entitled "Columbia Remembered...Atlantis, Go For Launch." This program looks back on the shuttle tragedy and look ahead to the planned flight of Space Shuttle Atlantis. 90.7 News Director Pat Duggins is the host of the program. During the hour-long documentary, listeners will hear from the Columbia astronauts and re-live the tragic loss of the shuttle. We?ll get the inside story of the recovery of the shuttle's flight data recorder from the man who found it, a forest ranger who works in the Seminole National Forest, northwest of Orlando. You?ll meet the astronauts scheduled to blastoff aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis during the first mission to go after Columbia. We'll go inside the hangar where the Shuttle's wreckage was kept, on the very day NASA engineers released to the nation the location of the breech that destroyed the shuttle. The documentary will look ahead to the launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis with a visit to the Orbiter Processing Facility where Atlantis is being prepared for launch. Engineers there say they won?t be able to relax until after the spacecraft finishes its mission and returns safely to Earth. Also, the program visits to Elmira, New York--hometown to Astronaut Eileen Collins who will command this first shuttle mission after Columbia. Residents there consider Collins a homegrown hero, and we'll hear their concerns about having Collins aboard the shuttle after the tragic loss of seven astronauts. The program wraps up with a look at the future of NASA and asks the question, is the space program worth the money and the risk to human life? Central Florida residents get a chance to speak out on this issue.
