Picking this one up. I won't be able to start the review until the weekend, but since it has been sitting here since August that should be okay. Hawkeye7  (discuss)  17:32, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks! It's the US Thanksgiving period, so I may be tied up as well with family in town, but will be as a responsive as possible! Balon Greyjoy (talk) 18:58, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Article looks very good.

Lead

 * "incident" sounds wrong to me. Suggest "accident"
 * This in the short description? Changed to "accident" Balon Greyjoy (talk) 13:07, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
 * "all seven astronauts aboard" -> 'all seven astronauts on board"
 * got it. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 14:09, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
 * "During launch" Suggest clarifying that this was the STS-107 launch, as the previous section reference Challenger
 * got it. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 14:09, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

Background

 * Why is Indian Ocean linked but not Pacific Ocean?
 * got it. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 14:11, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
 * "The bipod connects" -> "connected" to keep in the past tense
 * got it. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 14:11, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
 * "4 by 5 by 12 inches" => "4 by 5 by 12 inch" via adj=on
 * got it. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 14:15, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Suggest moving the "Space Shuttle mission" subsection into the Flight section
 * got it. I was just keeping it in the same format as Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 14:15, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Link test pilot, captain (US Navy), mission specialist, payload commander, payload specialist
 * got it. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 14:11, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

Flight

 * "At T+0" Do we need that?
 * removed it. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 14:16, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

Recovery of debris

 * The last two paragraphs are out of order. Suggest moving both up before the previous paragraph?
 * Switched. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 14:25, 17 November 2022 (UTC)


 * "is stored in unused office space" Is it still there in 2022?
 * Couldn't find an answer, so I changed it to past tense. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 14:25, 17 November 2022 (UTC)


 * The bit after "NASA conducted a fault tree analysis" coyuld be moved into the next section
 * If I remember correctly, I debated where this information belonged when I wrote these sections. I decided to keep it in the recovery section because it was a process used to identify what debris to focus on finding. I would like to keep it where it is, but I'm willing to change it.

 * "propellents" should be "propellants" There's always one spelling error.
 * fixed it. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 14:17, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

Columbia Accident Investigation Board

 * Link lithium hydroxide
 * Linked. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 14:18, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

NASA response

 * "The further construction of the International Space Station (ISS) was also delayed" Delete "also"
 * Removed. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 14:29, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
 * link Canadarm
 * Linked. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 14:29, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

Legacy

 * The Legacy section seems out of order to me. Suggest moving all the events into chronological order.
 * I decided to group this section together by category. I think it makes more sense than keeping it strictly chronological (e.g. official government memorial, Opening Day of baseball, Amarillo airport, Arlington Memorial). Do you think that works?

Images

 * No concerns - all are NASA images.
