An incredible, true-life adventure set in outer space. In 2003, 10 astronauts were orbiting the planet. 7 headed back to earth on the space shuttle Columbia but never made it. The 3 men left behind found themselves too far from home. This chronicles the dramatic efforts to get them safely back to Earth.
On February 1 2003 ten astronauts were orbiting the planet. Seven headed back to Earth on the space shuttle Columbia. They never made it. And the three men left behind found themselves too far from home. Chris Jones chronicles the efforts of the beleaguered Mission Control in Houston and Moscow as they work frantically against the clock to bring their men safely back to Earth ultimately settling on a plan that felt at best like a long shot. Yet even amid the danger the call of space is a siren song and Too Far From Home details beautifully the majesty and mystique of space travel while reminding us all how perilous it is to soar beyond the sky.
