Presentation: After some networking, one hour showing of the NOVA documentary "The Space Shuttle Disaster", a film about the disaster of the Space Shuttle Columbia" in 2003, that covers the investigation of the human failure and design flaws behind the Columbia tragedy and:

• The "insider" who warns of the problems & calls to action that went unheeded
• The investigator who fought NASA officials' denial with hard evidence
• Discovering the cause of the tragedy after piecing together the debris
• Arguments within the aerospace community for and against future Space Shuttle missions

Following the film, we will have a discussion about the Space Shuttle disaster and how it could have been avoided by implementing the tools of an effective quality management system.  Then, more networking afterwards.
