This documentary examines the 2003 Space Shuttle Columbia disaster in a tribute to Ilan Ramon, the first Israeli astronaut. Using Ramon's diary, reconstructed from partly erased handwriting after being found at one of the crash sites, the filmmakers trace the crewmembers' journey during the 16 day mission. With Ramons' e-mails from space and correspondence with NASA, viewers share in the charged moments of preparation, the excitement of the launch, and ultimately the tragedy of the crash. Includes footage from the mission and interviews with NASA officials, family, and colleagues.
