2 excellent shuttle programs on Discovery

Anyone catch the 2 shows on Discovery Channel last night?

The first one was about the challenges of getting the space shuttle back to earth, and detailed the problems with Columbia and what went wrong to cause the disaster.

The second one was about the "return to flight", and covered the whole Discovery mission and how some foam still fell off, and the inspections/repairs they did in orbit.

Two very good programs..
