Space shuttle Columbia burned during re-entry in February 2003, resulting in the loss of 14 NASA astronauts over 17 years between the Challenger disaster in 1986 and Columbia in 2002. The document proposes cancelling the space shuttle program and inspecting shuttles before re-entry to manage having zero loss of spacecraft or crew going forward after 2003.
