"Results of a shuttle LOC simulation show that the motion of the orbiter in this timeframe is best described as a highly oscillatory slow (30 to 40 degrees per second) flat spin, with the orbiter's belly generally facing into the velocity vector. The initial report from the Columbia accident investigation board concluded that the STS-107 mission was doomed from a few seconds after takeoff when a large chunk of insulating foam broke off and struck the leading edge of the shuttle's left wing. After the Columbia Accident Investigation Board (CAIB) investigation regarding the cause of the accident was completed, further consideration produced the question of whether there were lessons to be learned about how to improve crew survival in the future. Consequently, lethal trauma occurred to the unconscious or deceased crew due to the lack of upper body support and restraint," the report says.Even if they had survived Columbia's breakup, their entry suits would not have been able to protect them from the extreme heat of re-entry. Exposure to high altitude and blunt trauma caused their deaths, the report states. It calls for enhanced astronaut training to help spacecraft crewstransition from emergency response to survival mode. Dr. Jonathan Clark, a former NASA flight surgeon whose astronaut wife, Laurel, died aboard Columbia, praised NASA's leadership for releasing the report "even though it says, in some ways, you guys didn't do a great job.
