Space shuttle Atlantis Disaster
STS 122 was launched on February 7, 2008 as planned.
The STS 122 was planned to be the 24th shuttle mission to the International Space Station and to deliver the European laboratory Columbus.
Right after the launch of the space shuttle Atlantis in its last mission to the international space station, major technical problems had been detected by NASA engineers.
After two weeks in open space , the courageous crew had succeeded fixing all the technical problems and had returned back to earth, throwing the expensive laboratory to open space.
So It Be? Maybe… We sure hope it won’t.
