Talk:Space Shuttle Columbia Rescue (Better 2000s)

Sources regarding the Columbia Incident
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6R4ctaCBapM <- Footage of Mission Control post 8 AM OTL; these are the people we will be working with in regards to the fate of Columbia. The Flight Director is Leroy E. Cain. At 8 AM he polled the control room for a 'go/no-go' for decent. That was prior to the footage in the link. The poll was 'go' in OTL; in the Better 2000s it was 'No-Go'. At least such is the present POD regarding the fate of Columbia. Thus far we have the plan put forward of a rescue- yet we are open to other PODs- this one however is an option detailed by post disaster investigations. This discussion is at present on the subject of expanding this proposition's detials or replacing it with an alternative- however at present we see no alternative except this route which for the timeline is very historic; it would have been for our timeline as well- the first and only shuttle to shuttle rescue mission.
