So what got you so interested in Space? and another how was communication done to the orbiter, through High Frequency? Or what wavelength? Or through bouncing off satellites?

The thing with Columbia is that they HEARD her break up. They were sitting in a room, not TV on, and they hear their spacecraft break up. How hard must that be?
Basically living in Florida and visiting the KSC so many times. You learn to love the Shuttles when you're a Floridian. Space Shuttles actually use high frequency and satellites. It depends on a number of factors.
