I was a huge space nerd when I was a kid, and distinctly remember following the news in the days after the 2003 Columbia disasister. I recently read The Audacious Rescue Plan that Might have Saved Space Shuttle Columbia at Ars Technica. The article is detailed and fascinating, and well worth your time if such topics are of interest to you.
Tangentally related is one of my favorite websites, Moon Base Clavius, which dissects and debunks the various conspiracy theories which claim that the moon landings were faked.
Also, I watched Gravity a few nights ago. Great visuals, but I wasn't particularly impressed with the story. For my money, Moon is a much better film. Check it out.
