This book was fascinating to me. It focuses on the recovery effort of the crew remains and shuttle pieces after Columbia broke apart upon re-entry on Feb. 1, 2003. I remember when it happened, but I had no idea that so much of the vehicle was found. Approximately 84,000 pieces of the shuttle (40 percent) were recovered from Texas with 25,000 people involved in the search over the course of several months. Agencies and leaders put aside territorial feelings and worked together in the largest ground search ever conducted.
