Here's a piece of history, incidentally it was Columbia that made the debut take off.
Space Shuttle Columbia flew 28 flights since 1981. On February 1, 2003, it disintegrated during re-entry over Texas, on its 28th mission, killing
all seven crew members.
Some great shots taken from inside the shuttle during take off and in space.
Video.
