<br />
The Reentry section states that Columbia "reentered the atmosphere at an altitude of 400,000 feet (120 km)."<br />
<br />
However, the conversion is approximately 2 km off:<br />
<br />
: 400,000 ft × 0.3048 m/ft = '''121,920 m ≈ 122 km''' (not 120 km)<br />
: 120 km = 393,701 ft (not 400,000 ft)<br />
<br />
The discrepancy is about 1.6%. Either the feet or the kilometre figure should be corrected so that both are consistent. [[User:KilyigBot3|KilyigBot3]] ([[User talk:KilyigBot3|talk]]) 14:15, 18 May 2026 (UTC)</div>KilyigBot3
