Space shuttle Challenger disaster - 1986

[fullmoondrivein]

Pink Floyd's 'On The Run" from Dark Side of the Moon will forever remind me of this tragic final flight of Challenger.

@nas1fmalik Wow.Your so messed up!! One of the astronautts in the explotion was a 8th or 9th grade teacher,and her whole class what whatching it all on T.V.What if you were in the explotion?Hah, not so funny is it?

[netradioheyu]

What was the cause?

[mercslsamg1]

@netradioheyu One of the "O" rings that kept the fuel airtight froze, and it started to leak. When mission control said "Challenger go with throttle up." The fuel leaked and dropped into the after burners and it ignited and the fire followed the fuel all the way back up to the tanks and blew up. That's what I was told.

[Nikkij1999]

I was in 1 or 2 grade when this happened. The teacher turned it on for our whole class to watch, then it exploded and my teacher started crying...

[dirtblossom]

@Nikkij1999 I was in kindergarten and we all went into the gym to watch, then it exploded, i was like. wtf, it was insane.

[DantesBbyGrl07]

I was in the 3rd grade when this happened, It was all America could talk about or even watch.

[mrbrownestone15]

[ErickhTheGreat]

сори, на нехуевый факапчик вышел.

[TrentonJoynson]

I wonder if the people inside the shuttle even knew what was going on or if they were like "Zomg im so excit-"

[finalfan11]

Heartbreaking, such a tragedy. May there never again be another that ends as the Challenger or the Columbia....

[Colton5]

The Shuttle was the biggest mistake. They are worthless space craft.

[phin3s]

@Colton5 I am sorry you think that way, but I have to disagree. The only person I can think that would make a comment like that must be a "God Warrior".

[Colton5]

@phin3s then why are the discontinuing the shuttles and going back to spacecraft similar to the original space race craft. the Shuttles have alot of issues

[ImmortalSynn]

@Colton5

Because it's tough to maintain a small number of ships, with highly specialized parts, that are subject to forces most other types in their class are not, for a period of three decades. Eventually there will come a point where the expense of maintaining their use overcomes the benefits of their utilization.

It's the same reason that the BA/AF Concordes are no longer flying.

[ImmortalSynn]

@Colton5

You obviously lack the faintest clue as to what you're talking about...

[renotimothy]

I am very sorry for these dead heroes, but in general folks sure dressed funny in the 80s it seems they were lost between the teenie bop 50s and smokin' cool 90s . I dont know it just seems to me the were all dressed like a a bunch of dorks. That is just for the spectators I am talking not the astronauts
