The Internet is a vast resource of information - but it's a mile wide and only an inch deep - anonymous

The Internet is a wonderful resource, but like any other reference source information should be taken with a grain of salt and double-checked. There's wonderful information available, and also information of very low quality or credibility. There are many excellent references for STS-107 and its crew, but far more which have many mistakes or have very little original information.

The author's website www.sts107.info will include updated information, but no guarantees for how often it will be updated.

Websites change and their links disappear without warning so there's no guarantee these links will remain active.
