I heard it. Shepard Smith, while reading a bio of Chawla, mentioned that she made a mistake on an earlier mission, causing a satellite to tumble, and requiring a space-walk to correct the problem. It sounded really harsh when it came out, and sounded extremely inappropriate. A short time later, Smith basically apologized, saying that he was reading the report that he was handed, and didn't hear the words until they were out, and that he was sorry. I didn't catch details on who wrote it, but I absolutely believe him that he didn't know what was coming until after he read it.
