8 februari 2003. Vid Kennedy Space Center i Florida är det fullt av folk. Rymdfärjan Columbia ska återvända till jorden efter 16 dagar i rymden, och familjer och personal har samlats för att välkomna astronauterna tillbaka. Men färjan dyker aldrig upp. Och snart kommer rapporter om märkliga ljusfenomen över Arizona och New Mexico. Ljusfenomen som en gång var en rymdfarkost.

Detta är berättelsen om Columbia-katastrofen. Ett rutinmässigt uppdrag, som slutade i tragedi.
