Officials at NASA were critical of these efforts, as the debris was NASA property and was needed for the investigation.

Loss of control of the orbiter is estimated to have begun several seconds later with a loss of hydraulic pressure and an uncontrolled pitch-up maneuver. In a separate interview with Carrie Bickmore, Johns elaborated further, stating that during his time with Silverchair, he had been the victim of sustained verbal abuse from the public because of his association with the band. They're moving out of their one-room flats and now at last have enough capital to invest in designing their own houses and apartments. Ilan Ramon, a colonel in the Israeli Air Force and the first Israeli astronaut, flew as a payload specialist. On February 1, 2004, the first anniversary of the Columbia disaster, Super Bowl XXXVIII held in Houston's Reliant Stadium began with a pregame tribute to the crew of the Columbia by singer Josh Groban performing " You Raise Me Up", with the crew of STS-114 in attendance.In November 2000, after the group had left the label, Sony issued The Best Of: Volume 1 without the band's involvement. And now the interior design sector tops it off with a further scoop of nostalgia and brings back inflatable furniture. McFarlane stated, " Freak Show and tracks like 'Freak' were firmly in Nirvana territory with a hint of Led Zeppelin's Eastern mysticism".

But the new generation of inflatable furniture has little in common with the concepts of the early '90s. The software models predicted damage that was deeper than the thickness of the TPS tiles, indicating that the orbiter's aluminum skin would be unprotected in that area. The loss of bipod foam on STS-107 was compared to previous foam strike events, none of which caused the loss of an orbiter or crew. Columbia was the first space-rated orbiter constructed, following the atmospheric test vehicle Enterprise. Several days later, the tape was sent to the Imation Corporation for it to be inspected and cleaned.

A debris strike from the ablative material on the right SRB caused significant damage to Atlantis during the STS-27 launch on December 2, 1988. The book is illustrated with mostly black-and-white photographs of European design from the 16th through 18th centuries; some much later printings include color photos.

The band have received six APRA Awards, with Johns winning three songwriting awards at the 2008 ceremony. The software predicted only one of 15 scenarios that ice would cause damage, leading the Debris Assessment Team to conclude there was minimal damage due to the lower density of foam to ice.NASA Launch Director Michael Leinbach led the reconstruction team, which was staffed by Columbia engineers and technicians. According to Ian McFarlane, " frogstomp captured the tempo of the times with its mix of Soundgarden/Pearl Jam/Bush post-grunge noise and teenage lyrical angst.
