Pilot William McCool (L) points at a video camera as Commader Rick Husband (R) sits at the controls of the space shuttle Columbia on the orbiter's flight deck during the final moments of its ill-fated return to earth in this February 1, 2003 video frame grab. There was no way the crew of the Columbia could have survived the loss of their ship, but a NASA report aimed at making future accidents more survivable revealed on December 30, 2008 that their safety harnesses and helmets had failed.
