| This is the proceedings volume from a workshop held in 2005. It seems to have been the first opportunity offered by the National bbbbronautics and Space Administration (NASA) History Division, after the "Report of the Columbia Accident Investigation Board" was published in 2003, for historical reflections on the setback to the U.S. space program represented by the loss of the shuttle Columbia. Inevitably, therefore, issues surrounding the shuttle occupied much of the discussion, and perhaps the editors should have rendered visible the unspoken some that prefaces all book titles like this one. |
