In February 2003, American astronauts Donald Pettit and Kenneth Bowersox and Russian flight engineer Nikolai Budarin were on what was to be a routine fourteen-week mission maintaining the International Space Station. But then the shuttle Columbia exploded beneath them. With the launch program suspended indefinitely, these astronauts had suddenly lost their ride back to earth. This book offers a detailed portrait of the odd life of the people who live in zero gravity, as it chronicles the efforts of the beleaguered mission controls in Houston and Moscow working frantically to bring their men home--ultimately settling on a plan that felt, at best, like a long shot.--From publisher description. 000318201 61020 $$aInternational Space Station. 000318201 61020 $$aColumbia (Spacecraft)$$xAccidents. 000318201 650_0 $$aSpace vehicle accidents. 000318201 650_0 $$aManned space flight$$xRisk assessment. 000318201 650_0 $$aRisk management. 000318201 85200 $$bgen$$hTL867$$i.J66$$i2007 000318201 85641 $$3Table of contents only$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0615/2006018748.html 000318201 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0738/2006018748-d.html 000318201 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0738/2006018748-b.html 000318201 85641 $$3Sample text$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0738/2006018748-s.html 000318201 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:318201$$pGLOBAL_SET 000318201 980__ $$aBIB 000318201 980__ $$aBOOK 000318201 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
