STS-107 was the final flight of Space Shuttle Columbia which disintegrated over Texas during reentry on February 1, 2003, killing all 7 crew members. The commander was Rick Husband, who was born and raised in Amarillo and became an astronaut in 1995. He flew as pilot on STS-96 in 1999, and logged 235 hours and 13 minutes in space. He is buried in his home town at Llano Cemetery, where this box can be found.
