O'Keefe
discusses CAIB report
"Over our 45 years of this great Agency's history, we have
been defined by our tremendous successes and our tragic failures,"
said Sean O'Keefe. "This report should serve as a blueprint."
He said to fulfill the promise of fixing the problem made to the
Columbia families, NASA will accept the Columbia Accident Investigation
Board (CAIB) findings and comply with the recommendations without
reservation. To read the CAIB report, visit www.nasa.gov/columbia/home/index.html.

CAIB briefings.

the world can make this happen better than the KSC team." He
reminded those having difficulties to contact the Employee Assistance
