Mir Crisis International Space Station program seems to be moving along quite well. Certainly much better than Phase One, the Shuttle/Mir program, which was haunted by poor planning, communication difficulties, accidents, fires, leaks and one big collision. Last week, we brought you the first part of our interview with Bryan Burrough, author of "Dragonfly: NASA and the Crisis Aboard Mir." (Harper Collins) Today's segment deals with the aftermath of the fire during Jerry Linenger's tenure, the collision between Mir and a resupply ship, and what was learned from the shuttle/Mir program.
