is this the ship with the school teacher from evanston? if it is my mother new that teachers best freind and wacthed this tragey happen live the teacher accually started crying.....sad day........
Wow at 2200 feet per second they were traveling faster than a 9 mm round from a Beretta. Our earth is orbiting the sun at 66,000 mph. A real real sad thing that happened but once you accept Jesus you are free to take risks and go on adventures like this. You know if you die while on the mission where you will be going... really.
@AvengerStar5 Well, 2 corinthians 12-2 describes the 3rd heaven where the one who no man has ever seen resides..(Jn1-18 ) We have the 1 heaven that we see from earth and then the galaxies (billions) which make up the 2nd. and then the 3rd. A great site that I visit is reasons.org..One thing I keep in mind, as no one knows when they are going, is it is a trip that we must make alone..leaving family & friends behind.
what was there to panic about they still get there funding from the government and people lost there lives for the mission nothing the white house cant sweep under the carpet, oh wait a second people were filming it?! apology time!
@shiva1055 sometimes the word 'awesome' can be used to say something is incredible, or amazing. I highly doubt that this person meant that this was a good thing.
get over it, a lot of americans today cry over way more important things... take your chinese handkerchief, your anti-depression indian medicine and embrace the russian shoulder being offered now and move on!
@chickenflu4 That's because he was looking at data on a computer screen in Houston, TX. Mission Control had only one small TV in it, so they were giving the statistical data and not watching in it person like the people in launch control in Florida.
that one dude was still tracking them after the explosion and im sorry if its disrespectful but im sorry "we have a had a malfunction" well no shit NASA
Why don't we have giant space ships that are assembled in space because their so huge like the one in the movie The Rodger Young - Starship Troopers?it would be like the f-22 all the country could invest into it come on don't you wanna see some real sci-fi shit in your life time?
did they crashed because of what the guy said at 1:23? if so, poor guy. i know he was just sticking to normal standards but still (go with throttle up?)
@nvanwensen The man who said that wasnt watching video. He was a flight communicator who was only looking at data on a screen and recording it as he read the info. At that point all he saw were a bunch of malfunction warnings and loss of comms to the orbiter.
@nvanwensen They said that because the SRB (solid rocket boosters) went out of control and detatched off the tank. The rocket blew up because they initiated the self destruct protocol.
@iLoveMyHorseLife the temps in the morning were too low for the O rings in the boosters to handle, causing them to contract, when they needed to be able to expand and contract. the pressures rose, and gas leaked from the booster, and burnt a hole in the External Fuel tank. the leaking fuel ignited and detonated. So sad.
im amazed the NASA guys were so cool on the radio, nobody sounded very emotional about watching the thing explode while they were talking to the people on it. So tragic, I'm happy I wasn't old enough to watch it live.
@nkdmansam They thought it was the other part of the rocket thats meant to fall off, not the actual shuttle with the people in. Then trying to contact the people they say theres a technicality error... and slowly realise whats actually happend. such a sad thing
@nkdmansam but we cannot forget that this i NASA they need to have a standard of scientific professionalism(as cold as that might sound)
think about it this way, imagine if the ER guys coming to a family members rescue, walked into the house and started screaming that their was a guy having a heart attack........ wouldn't be appropriate. .
I really wish i was there to see all the stuff that happend back then. U bunch of interesting stuff happend when i wasn't born or i was really little. I wish i was there to see the challenger. and i wish i was old enough to remember 9-11 i was only 3 when it happend. you ppl know wat i mean??
Some isn't right about this. The guys is way too calm when the ship exploded. Even if i was trained to handle this situation, but i still would have said, HOLY SHIT! O, FUCK! GODDAMN! WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED UP THERE!, something. This dude was way to calm,......... like it was expected. But thats my opinion.
@ragnarock3000 it was expectad they delayed the flight 6 days for it to warm up to altleast 53 and they wounldnt wait more then 6 days so its there faullt not
this is what cheap government beaurocrats make of things , cheap labor and cheap parts. and getting into space is easy just getting in orbit and dealing with the intense heat of re-entry.
The crew did not die upon explosion but when their pod impacted the water. They had about 4 minutes of free-fall before hitting the water - that must have been horrible.
Can any one tell me the name of the female teacher who was aboard ,i can remember this as a child only ,and heard the news ,but cant remember much ,thanks ,
The utter calmness of everyone over the radio is a bit weird really. You know, considering it blew up and killed everyone. It's like "oh well, a major malfunction... these things're bound to happen sometimes..."
@ben14279 NASA's training trains you for nothing. These astronauts thought they were trained for any situation but the reality is that NASA knew that no one would survive an event like this. They were so confident that nothing could go wrong that they didn't have any safety measures put in AT ALL.
Let us never forget those who journeyed into the howling dark and did not return, for their decision required courage beyond measure. They ennobled all of us and shall not be forgotten.
I honestly feel that's just empty rhetoric. What decision requiring courage beyond measure? Going into space? I know few people who would say no when given such an opportunity. Don't make something that people would be looking forward to into some courageous sacrifice.
Reagan calling them heroes? There are enough real heroes risking their life's for others. Instead of making this some patriotic rallying point, people would do better to read Feynman's conclusion about the causes.
@SPYK3O Howling dark? It was midday, and it didn't look that windy. And how did they ennoble us? How does a couple people getting blown to smithereens make me a more noble person?
what the fuck is that moron saying over the radio? "It looks like we have a major malfunction." I would've thought the guy would be yelling over the radio
The leaking fuel is what created the explosion effect. The shuttle orbiter itself didn't explode - it broke apart, which is why the crew cabin separated.
The nature of the explosion and the safety equipment worn by the astronauts was such that the victims were likely alive through the explosion and did not expire until hitting the water at the terminus of their fall.
Unfortunately, that may not have been the case. Investigations confirmed that at least 4 of the crew members activated their personal air packs during the descent of the crew cabin (which had separated, nearly intact, during the breakup of Challenger) - so at least some of the crew were alive during the nearly 300-mph descent (continued)
(continuing from my last post) - and surely felt, if not pain from the increasing G-forces as the crew cabin fell from around 122,000 feet to the Atlantic Ocean, the increasing panic as they realized what had happened. Mercifully, I think they were all unconscious when the crew cabin impacted the water.
@knightryderrwn they would have felt weightless durring the fall, it's the same concept as why astronaughts feel weightless. as your orbiting the planet you are not weightless, you are falling, constantly falling. but your forward velocity pushes you off the edge of the panet and you keep falling. its a cool equilibrium. they would have felt the deceleration if they had gone past terminal velocity of the air resistance. but durring the fall they would have lost conciousness while weightless.
Unfortunately, as nice as your theory is, physics has to take over. As the cabin continued to fall, with no parachutes or any other kind of deceleration available, speeds would continue to increase (due to gravity), up to nearly 300 mph, which is NOT survivable (Like they said in the movie Apollo 13 - if the parachutes didn't open, the capsule would hit the water "not at a gentle 20 MPH, but a SUICIDAL 300." That's basically what happened to the Challenger crew. (continued)
@knightryderrwn you said "As the cabin continued to fall, with no parachutes or any other kind of deceleration available, speeds would continue to increase (due to gravity), up to nearly 300 mph" i say you arn't looking at air resistance. now another example, look up nasa's 0 gravity plane, it rockets towards the surface of the earth, engines engaged and it reaches 0 g's. your theory of g force from velocity is wrong, the theory of relativity fits well here. i won't let you post false info.
First off - regarding NASA's 0-g plane, the ONLY time it reaches zero G is at the very TOP of the parabola (just like you float out of your seat on a roller coaster when it reaches the top of the hill for a few seconds), and the zero-g effects only last for between 10-15 seconds. Air resistance is all well and good, but consider that the crew cabin reached 150,000 feet BEFORE beginning its final, fatal descent. (Continued)
@knightryderrwn you don't understand physics, do you know why it only occurs at the top of the parabola? i'm not arguing that they passed out, i'm arguing your physics, the parabola allows for a reverse centripital acceleration, where the acceleration outwards defeats the acceleration of gravity, and its actually 25 seconds. its where the plane is going from 45 deg up to 45 deg down, the curve it makes between that allows for 0 g. simulating a free fall. look up what nasa says on free falling
@knightryderrwn no i know you have never taken a physics class, ican't believe i'm even arguing physics with somebody that doens't understand acceleration, dude i'm in college for mechanical engineering. when you press the gas pedal you are increasing the acceleration, when your car is going 60 mph does a glass of water get sucked to the back of your car or does the water stay relatively flat. look up the theory of relativity before posting again. your feeling the change in velocity, continuing
Then why, when a person sticks his hand out a car window traveling at the same 60 mph, does your arm get thrown BACK until it hits the rear window frame? (I've done this experiment THOUSANDS of times myself).
@knightryderrwn your wind example explained, the wind is not traveling at the 60 mph you are, it has drag in the air, becase when you stick your hand out of the window you are moving through the air and the air offers resistance, you are feeling air resistance, not g force. you are feeling the newtons push on your hand and your hand won't just sit there when there are forces acting on it if the force is strong enough it will pull your hand against the car. nevermind this isn't going anywhere.
@knightryderrwn i know what i'm talking about and i just caught you living in ignorance. sign up for a physics class at your local comunity college, you will learn why your assumptions and parrot talk were completely wrong. its hard to argue with facts and einstein against you. learn to work with them, not against them
@knightryderrwn air resistance does play a factor on your arm as well as your car, your arm is just then experiencing the force that the car is constantly feeling. now here a question for you, based upon your logic, why woudln't you hand do that in the car too? because there is a force deflector known a a windshield(shield from the wind)
@knightryderrwn i don't care that you are older than me, i'm an engineer, and i'm in physics classes. i'm sure you do know more than me on many other subjects, but just to say that your age difference makes you smarter in every aspect is the most ignorent thing i have ever heard.
@knightryderrwn i didn't want to have to argue, but thanks for stopping this. now lets not forget the point a lot of good men lost their lives and it was a tragic situation. i hope that it wasn't painful for them and i pray that they did become unconcious before impact. bless their souls they will not be forgotten.
Yes, 5 good men and 2 good women perished here. That's the important thing. May they rest in peace. Chances are, if they could see this argument, they'd be laughing their collective you-know-what's off (mostly at me) over the whole thing.
@knightryderrwn you have a good atitude man. my only thing, and since you have read a lot on this incident, it looks like in the video that the engines were running at 104% capacity(narator voice) then nasa told him to push it even more, i feel like this was a command center flaw. do you know if the engines were pushed beyond what they were designed to handle?
Okay, THIS I think I can speak to somewhat intelligently. :) The engines had been throttled back to around 65% of rated power (to reduce G-forces at "max Q", the period of maximum dynamic pressures on the vehicle). Just before the explosion, when the call "Challenger, GO at throttle-up" comes in, that gives the crew clearance to throttle the engines back up to 104% of rated power (or full throttle). (continued)
Now, don't ask me why "full throttle" is 104% of "rated power" - because that, I don't understand - how can something have more than 100% of rated power?? (Maybe you can explain that one to me...:) )
@knightryderrwn yes i can explain that, most everything is designed with error tollerances, and they designed the engines to operate at a ceratin rate but they needed a bit more power to get the force necessarty to counteract gravity. so the system as a whole wasn't going over 100% of design just the srb's were going over. things like buildings, cars, everything is engineered to have designe error tollerance, such as a building meant to hold only 100 people will be designed to hold 500 people
@knightryderrwn honestly i thought main engines at this point were the srb's i don't see why the hydrogen oxygen reaction would have created such a huge explosion in the fuel tank if it was the main engines, the only reason i think this is because most of the heat has to come from the srb's. idk the same still holds, the engines were designed to operate at 150% but they forgot to factor something in or were off by .001 in some measurment that caused the engines at 100%input to give 96.5 aprox
Well, you have to consider the volume of fuel still left in the External Tank, and the fact that there was heat from the SRB - temperatures of 5,600 degrees Fahrenheit had pierced the aft joint of the right SRB, which was still firing as its nose smashed into the tank, rupturing the liquid hydrogen & liquid oxygen sections. The escaping propellant promptly expanded into a huge fireball.
@knightryderrwn continued, i'm suspecting that they got the engines completed only to discover a flaw where they had to push the engines to get to the desired force that would have been at 100% force, the engines were most likely designed to be operated at 150% but it doesn't look like an engine failure, since they both flew off to the sides. (don't quote me on this) i think the failure resulted from the heat of the engines being to extreem for the fuel tank and you can see the fuel tank rupture
That's a little beyond my realm of knowledge. But, the failure occurred at the lower end of the right-side SRB. The O-ring failed to seat properly (due to exposure to near-freezing temperatures the night previous), and during launch, the high-temperature gas from the SRB penetrated the external tank, causing the rupture. Additionally, the right SRB's lower attach point tore loose, allowing the nose of the SRB to smash into the fuel tank, causing another rupture (continued)
@knightryderrwn thank you, you do know how this happened. thats interesting and you can see it, when the o ring bursts you see the flames shooting out of the tank, then the force pushes on that part of the srb doing what you said happened, and pushed it into the tank. thanks for that peice of knowlege, you learn something new every day.
@knightryderrwn near the back of the tank, then explode all the way through, it appears that the fuel tank was the problem in my opinion. especially since the engines were directed away from the explosion meant it had to be right next to the engines where the explosion happened, then it perpetuated by the expanding mass being less aerodynamic and it wen't beyond engineered stress safety limits, and ripped the craft apart. they are only designed to move in one direction.
Point being - this was not a command center flaw - the engines were designed to be throttled to 104%. Consider this from Mission Control -
"We'll throttle down to 65% shortly...normal throttle for the flight 104%." So, the engines were at 65%, then throttled back up to 104% (or full throttle).
@knightryderrwn continued, acceleration is the change in velocity, when you hit the gas pedal you incease the velocity, heres a good test you can't deny because i am younger than you. hold the petal down on the accelerator and notice the force on your back, when the car reaches its terminal velocity(max speed) you WILL feel the same force on your back as you did while stopped. then when you press the brakes you feel negative a negative change in velocity(negative acceleration) and it pulls you
@knightryderrwn forward due to that acceleration = g force. change in velocity = g force. i know now that you obviously don't know what you are talking about, you are a parrot speaking what others have said, and people make horrible parrots, remember the game telephone from 3rd grade, or are you too old for that? this is physics. have you even been in a calculus class, well try to remember. stop being angry at me, i know what i'm talking about. draw a force box diagram. stop speaking ignorance
@knightryderrwn according to einstein your theory of velocity = g force is wrong. are you smarter than einstein? look up einsteins theory of relativity. maybe also spend some time in a physics book. don't just speak what other people say, make your own conclusions or else you are worthless. look up terminal velocity, the theory of relativity, g force, and acceleration, you will see how you just proved yourself wrong.
(continuing my last post) - I've been studying this accident since it happened in 1986 (which, according to your age on your Youtube profile, was 5 years before you were even BORN) - and read not only the Presidential Commission report on the accident, but also several books written afterwards, all of which describe the last moments of the Challenger crew. The indications from all of them were that decompression and G-forces led to the unconsciousness of the crew before impact.
@knightryderrwn ok I'll trust you here but explain where the g's come from when you can't feel g force whenthere is no net acceleration, velocity doesn't create g force, acceleration does. Now look at terminal velocity, when air resistance gives an acceleration up of 9.81 m/s^2 the net acceleration is always approaching the limit of 0. I'm honestly curious where it comes from. where is this hidden acceleration coming from if not for them haveing gone past terminal velocity. Don't get mad man
@knightryderrwnwould all the g's be deceleration forces? Deceleration because of gravity and air resistance with the craft having a velocity up and horizontal, I could see the moment after a tragic scene being the highest g force then gradually slowing as frictional acceleration decreases. We are all students of the world, I had thought age had become less of a divider, more experience is what you have, but knowledge can be taught at any age, including physics to somebody 20.
@knightryderrwn continued, it would not have been painful for them, just really scarry. and i'm not sure but it's possible they wouln't have passed out, i think only because its a pressurized cabin, but i'm not sure on this one. i know it wouldn't have been painful during the fall though
The problem with what you're saying is that the cabin was most likely not completely intact - therefore, pressurization had been most likely lost. As I stated previously, the evidence indicated that at least 4 of the 7 had activated their personal air packs (and were conscious at least part of the way down) - you're right about the fear, though. I just hope it passed quickly.
what if there was a survivor that fell ALL the way back down while burning.....scary...buuut "Dont call me the champ call me the space shuttle destroyer, I just blew up the Challenger matter fact, I need a lawyer"

The leaking fuel is what created the explosion effect. The shuttle orbiter itself didn't explode - it broke apart, which is why the crew cabin separated.

The nature of the explosion and the safety equipment worn by the astronauts was such that the victims were likely alive through the explosion and did not expire until hitting the water at the terminus of their fall.
pajiad191 1 year ago
@BestivalFan,
Unfortunately, that may not have been the case. Investigations confirmed that at least 4 of the crew members activated their personal air packs during the descent of the crew cabin (which had separated, nearly intact, during the breakup of Challenger) - so at least some of the crew were alive during the nearly 300-mph descent (continued)
knightryderrwn 1 year ago
@BestivalFan,
(continuing from my last post) - and surely felt, if not pain from the increasing G-forces as the crew cabin fell from around 122,000 feet to the Atlantic Ocean, the increasing panic as they realized what had happened. Mercifully, I think they were all unconscious when the crew cabin impacted the water.
knightryderrwn 1 year ago
@knightryderrwn they would have felt weightless durring the fall, it's the same concept as why astronaughts feel weightless. as your orbiting the planet you are not weightless, you are falling, constantly falling. but your forward velocity pushes you off the edge of the panet and you keep falling. its a cool equilibrium. they would have felt the deceleration if they had gone past terminal velocity of the air resistance. but durring the fall they would have lost conciousness while weightless.
fragiggle 1 year ago
@fragiggle,
Unfortunately, as nice as your theory is, physics has to take over. As the cabin continued to fall, with no parachutes or any other kind of deceleration available, speeds would continue to increase (due to gravity), up to nearly 300 mph, which is NOT survivable (Like they said in the movie Apollo 13 - if the parachutes didn't open, the capsule would hit the water "not at a gentle 20 MPH, but a SUICIDAL 300." That's basically what happened to the Challenger crew. (continued)
knightryderrwn 1 year ago
@knightryderrwn you said "As the cabin continued to fall, with no parachutes or any other kind of deceleration available, speeds would continue to increase (due to gravity), up to nearly 300 mph" i say you arn't looking at air resistance. now another example, look up nasa's 0 gravity plane, it rockets towards the surface of the earth, engines engaged and it reaches 0 g's. your theory of g force from velocity is wrong, the theory of relativity fits well here. i won't let you post false info.
fragiggle 1 year ago
@fragiggle,
First off - regarding NASA's 0-g plane, the ONLY time it reaches zero G is at the very TOP of the parabola (just like you float out of your seat on a roller coaster when it reaches the top of the hill for a few seconds), and the zero-g effects only last for between 10-15 seconds. Air resistance is all well and good, but consider that the crew cabin reached 150,000 feet BEFORE beginning its final, fatal descent. (Continued)
knightryderrwn 1 year ago
@knightryderrwn you don't understand physics, do you know why it only occurs at the top of the parabola? i'm not arguing that they passed out, i'm arguing your physics, the parabola allows for a reverse centripital acceleration, where the acceleration outwards defeats the acceleration of gravity, and its actually 25 seconds. its where the plane is going from 45 deg up to 45 deg down, the curve it makes between that allows for 0 g. simulating a free fall. look up what nasa says on free falling
fragiggle 1 year ago
@fragiggle,
No, my theory of G-force from velocity is not wrong. Consider -
The extra push back into your seat when you step on the accelerator pedal (INCREASING THE VELOCITY) of your car.
knightryderrwn 1 year ago
@knightryderrwn no i know you have never taken a physics class, ican't believe i'm even arguing physics with somebody that doens't understand acceleration, dude i'm in college for mechanical engineering. when you press the gas pedal you are increasing the acceleration, when your car is going 60 mph does a glass of water get sucked to the back of your car or does the water stay relatively flat. look up the theory of relativity before posting again. your feeling the change in velocity, continuing
fragiggle 1 year ago
@fragiggle,
Then why, when a person sticks his hand out a car window traveling at the same 60 mph, does your arm get thrown BACK until it hits the rear window frame? (I've done this experiment THOUSANDS of times myself).
knightryderrwn 1 year ago
@knightryderrwn your wind example explained, the wind is not traveling at the 60 mph you are, it has drag in the air, becase when you stick your hand out of the window you are moving through the air and the air offers resistance, you are feeling air resistance, not g force. you are feeling the newtons push on your hand and your hand won't just sit there when there are forces acting on it if the force is strong enough it will pull your hand against the car. nevermind this isn't going anywhere.

@knightryderrwn air resistance does play a factor on your arm as well as your car, your arm is just then experiencing the force that the car is constantly feeling. now here a question for you, based upon your logic, why woudln't you hand do that in the car too? because there is a force deflector known a a windshield(shield from the wind)

knightryderrwn 1 year ago
@knightryderrwn you have a good atitude man. my only thing, and since you have read a lot on this incident, it looks like in the video that the engines were running at 104% capacity(narator voice) then nasa told him to push it even more, i feel like this was a command center flaw. do you know if the engines were pushed beyond what they were designed to handle?
fragiggle 1 year ago
@fragiggle,
Okay, THIS I think I can speak to somewhat intelligently. :) The engines had been throttled back to around 65% of rated power (to reduce G-forces at "max Q", the period of maximum dynamic pressures on the vehicle). Just before the explosion, when the call "Challenger, GO at throttle-up" comes in, that gives the crew clearance to throttle the engines back up to 104% of rated power (or full throttle). (continued)
knightryderrwn 1 year ago
@fragiggle,
Now, don't ask me why "full throttle" is 104% of "rated power" - because that, I don't understand - how can something have more than 100% of rated power?? (Maybe you can explain that one to me...:) )
knightryderrwn 1 year ago
@knightryderrwn yes i can explain that, most everything is designed with error tollerances, and they designed the engines to operate at a ceratin rate but they needed a bit more power to get the force necessarty to counteract gravity. so the system as a whole wasn't going over 100% of design just the srb's were going over. things like buildings, cars, everything is engineered to have designe error tollerance, such as a building meant to hold only 100 people will be designed to hold 500 people
fragiggle 1 year ago
@fragiggle,
You mean, the main engines, right? The SRB's can't be throttled - the throttle settings are for the 3 main engines on the rear of the Orbiter.
knightryderrwn 1 year ago
@knightryderrwn honestly i thought main engines at this point were the srb's i don't see why the hydrogen oxygen reaction would have created such a huge explosion in the fuel tank if it was the main engines, the only reason i think this is because most of the heat has to come from the srb's. idk the same still holds, the engines were designed to operate at 150% but they forgot to factor something in or were off by .001 in some measurment that caused the engines at 100%input to give 96.5 aprox
fragiggle 1 year ago
@fragiggle,
Well, you have to consider the volume of fuel still left in the External Tank, and the fact that there was heat from the SRB - temperatures of 5,600 degrees Fahrenheit had pierced the aft joint of the right SRB, which was still firing as its nose smashed into the tank, rupturing the liquid hydrogen & liquid oxygen sections. The escaping propellant promptly expanded into a huge fireball.
knightryderrwn 1 year ago
@knightryderrwn of the calculated output so it would then take 104% throttle to get 100% output. do you understand that?
fragiggle 1 year ago
@fragiggle,
Yeah, that makes sense.
knightryderrwn 1 year ago
@knightryderrwn continued, i'm suspecting that they got the engines completed only to discover a flaw where they had to push the engines to get to the desired force that would have been at 100% force, the engines were most likely designed to be operated at 150% but it doesn't look like an engine failure, since they both flew off to the sides. (don't quote me on this) i think the failure resulted from the heat of the engines being to extreem for the fuel tank and you can see the fuel tank rupture
fragiggle 1 year ago
@fragiggle,
That's a little beyond my realm of knowledge. But, the failure occurred at the lower end of the right-side SRB. The O-ring failed to seat properly (due to exposure to near-freezing temperatures the night previous), and during launch, the high-temperature gas from the SRB penetrated the external tank, causing the rupture. Additionally, the right SRB's lower attach point tore loose, allowing the nose of the SRB to smash into the fuel tank, causing another rupture (continued)
knightryderrwn 1 year ago
@knightryderrwn thank you, you do know how this happened. thats interesting and you can see it, when the o ring bursts you see the flames shooting out of the tank, then the force pushes on that part of the srb doing what you said happened, and pushed it into the tank. thanks for that peice of knowlege, you learn something new every day.

@fragiggle,
You can say that again!! I've learned plenty new today - and, thank you for teaching ME infinitely more than I may have taught you. :)
knightryderrwn 1 year ago
@knightryderrwn near the back of the tank, then explode all the way through, it appears that the fuel tank was the problem in my opinion. especially since the engines were directed away from the explosion meant it had to be right next to the engines where the explosion happened, then it perpetuated by the expanding mass being less aerodynamic and it wen't beyond engineered stress safety limits, and ripped the craft apart. they are only designed to move in one direction.
fragiggle 1 year ago
@fragiggle,
Point being - this was not a command center flaw - the engines were designed to be throttled to 104%. Consider this from Mission Control -
"We'll throttle down to 65% shortly...normal throttle for the flight 104%." So, the engines were at 65%, then throttled back up to 104% (or full throttle).
knightryderrwn 1 year ago
@fragiggle,
Point being - the engines were not pushed beyond what they were designed to handle - 104% is max thrust.
knightryderrwn 1 year ago
@knightryderrwn continued, acceleration is the change in velocity, when you hit the gas pedal you incease the velocity, heres a good test you can't deny because i am younger than you. hold the petal down on the accelerator and notice the force on your back, when the car reaches its terminal velocity(max speed) you WILL feel the same force on your back as you did while stopped. then when you press the brakes you feel negative a negative change in velocity(negative acceleration) and it pulls you
fragiggle 1 year ago
@knightryderrwn forward due to that acceleration = g force. change in velocity = g force. i know now that you obviously don't know what you are talking about, you are a parrot speaking what others have said, and people make horrible parrots, remember the game telephone from 3rd grade, or are you too old for that? this is physics. have you even been in a calculus class, well try to remember. stop being angry at me, i know what i'm talking about. draw a force box diagram. stop speaking ignorance
fragiggle 1 year ago
@knightryderrwn according to einstein your theory of velocity = g force is wrong. are you smarter than einstein? look up einsteins theory of relativity. maybe also spend some time in a physics book. don't just speak what other people say, make your own conclusions or else you are worthless. look up terminal velocity, the theory of relativity, g force, and acceleration, you will see how you just proved yourself wrong.
fragiggle 1 year ago
@fragiggle,
(continuing my last post) - I've been studying this accident since it happened in 1986 (which, according to your age on your Youtube profile, was 5 years before you were even BORN) - and read not only the Presidential Commission report on the accident, but also several books written afterwards, all of which describe the last moments of the Challenger crew. The indications from all of them were that decompression and G-forces led to the unconsciousness of the crew before impact.
knightryderrwn 1 year ago
@knightryderrwn ok I'll trust you here but explain where the g's come from when you can't feel g force whenthere is no net acceleration, velocity doesn't create g force, acceleration does. Now look at terminal velocity, when air resistance gives an acceleration up of 9.81 m/s^2 the net acceleration is always approaching the limit of 0. I'm honestly curious where it comes from. where is this hidden acceleration coming from if not for them haveing gone past terminal velocity. Don't get mad man
fragiggle 1 year ago
@knightryderrwnwould all the g's be deceleration forces? Deceleration because of gravity and air resistance with the craft having a velocity up and horizontal, I could see the moment after a tragic scene being the highest g force then gradually slowing as frictional acceleration decreases. We are all students of the world, I had thought age had become less of a divider, more experience is what you have, but knowledge can be taught at any age, including physics to somebody 20.
fragiggle 1 year ago
@knightryderrwn continued, it would not have been painful for them, just really scarry. and i'm not sure but it's possible they wouln't have passed out, i think only because its a pressurized cabin, but i'm not sure on this one. i know it wouldn't have been painful during the fall though
fragiggle 1 year ago
@fragiggle,
The problem with what you're saying is that the cabin was most likely not completely intact - therefore, pressurization had been most likely lost. As I stated previously, the evidence indicated that at least 4 of the 7 had activated their personal air packs (and were conscious at least part of the way down) - you're right about the fear, though. I just hope it passed quickly.
