  • we have the technology now to send advanced robots to do our dirty work, computer geeks can now sit in their underpants and control it in Space

  • I'd have a series of anxiety attacks if I were stuck on that Shuttle for three hours. Popping ativan left and right.

  • out of sync

  • No world of any other crew member... Just the "teacher" in space. I don't like mainstream culture centered 99.9% on single subject. Where's the word of Ron McNair who was going to make first music recording in space? Yes, Ron was on the same crew!!!

  • who is this alabama redneck??? he's personally responsible for this tragedy

  • Where is Gene Kranz when you need him. The Flight director's job is to take any action necessary for "Crew safety and mission success". "Tough and competent" is what he said mission control would be forever after the Apollo 1 fire. It seems His Mission control is still in Huston and this new group of people in Mission Control don't even come close to measuring up and 7 brave Astronauts died for it.

  • Typical business bureaucracy trying to rush things through in order to placate the 'investors'. Make no mistake, NASA was never a tool of space and science exploration; they and still are tools of the businesses that want to launch satellites for human observation, too look for earth-bound dangers, too look for new planets to live on after they burn this out and to find other resources such as water, cobalt and oil elsewhere to bring here. A tool of commerce and an utter waste.

  • @2Phaktor LOL Umad? On a serious note, you seem to be way more focused on a so-called "NASA Conspiracy" than on the sadness of the event.

  • @Hypershad12 The event was sad, but I don't focus on that when incompetence caused it. Emotion has no place in business. The people who were interviewed for the the documentary made it quite clear that business was the driving force behind this mission. LOL Umad...

  • @2Phaktor simple-minded fool

  • @CunningStunt777777 Knob-slobbing astro slut.

  • @2Phaktor You're not. You might be a little rude, but you're not a "Knob-slobbing astro slut.". I can give you sme numbers to call for low self-esteem.

  • the solution would be to send NASA's responsible person's child on every mission - then they'd probably not stick so tighly to the schedule, but look for astronauts' safety...

  • the comment at 10 seconds, typical of arm chair types that never had to fix anything

  • This guy doesn't know how to say "Schedule". He says "shedule". It's funny! I am not sure if all Brits pronounce it like that, but i've never heard any say "shedule".

  • @purseonal2010 Both are acceptable. I am brit and I use the C.

  • The immense heat and pressure from the rocket boosters are important elements to propel the shuttle into space. Equally important are the heat tiles to protect the shuttle from disintegrating upon re-entry. Both of these crucial parts of the shuttle launch and subsequent re-entry were compromised by incredible stupidity in both shuttle disasters.

  • WHY ARE THESE THINGS ALWAYS NARRATED BY FORESKIN MEN?!

  • @basvg1 it wasn't "poor technical design" it was not adhering to the technical guidelines that caused this.

  • @quasiphatpaul

    I agree, but also the design could have been better (more O-rings, more resistance against the temperature).

  • @quasiphatpaul I agree- the design was sound. It flew more than 10 times into space without issue!!

    This is another case of "Chernobylism." Which is ironic 'cus it hadn't happened yet.

    This was human error, on the side of following instructions precisely, and waiting for ideal conditions.

  • @ESAPOWER The design was not sound because a major flaw was found. Are you completely retarded?

  • @quasiphatpaul actually bad technical design did have a lot to do with it. They could have made the rocketbooster without O rings, and made it 1 structure. They chose not to because of cost.

  • The schedule was obviously more important than these peoples lives and a vehicle.

  • Comment removed

  • OMG! did some one go to jail??? for this?

  • I can't believe NASA didn't know the fluorocarbon will freeze rock solid below a certain temperature. It was never a good low-temperature material.

  • Discusting.... The people resposible should be launched up in a rocket and blown up.
