@nasa’s first Space Shuttle, Columbia and its crew of Commander Rick Husband, Pilot Willie McCool, Payload Commander Michael Anderson, Mission Specialists Kalpana Chawla, David Brown, Laurel Clark and Payload Specialist Ilan Ramon were lost on February 1, 2003 when the spacecraft broke up on reentry during mission STS-107.
