There's a mountain of evidence that the Apollo moon missions were faked. I posted a partial summary of it on a science forum. Google "The Naked Scientists". In the "New Theories" section of the forum there's a thread entitled "Did We Land on the Moon?". The summary is on page 15. It's the 7th post from the top.
People who still think they went to the moon simply haven't seen the hoax evidence yet.
I know what that numbering system they used for the shuttle program back in the day meant. For example: 51-D stood for: 5 meaning the year 1985. 1 meaning the launch was at Kennedy Space Center. 2 would have meant launches would've been from Vandenberg AFB. And D signifies the number of mission for that fiscal year. Vandenberg was supposed to be used for launches but their launch program was cancelled after the Challenger disaster.
The "red chains" you see at main engine start having nothing to do with starting the engines or the SRB (the SRBs have ignitors in there nose).
The things you see at :49 are called the Hydrogen Brunoff System. They are flares that fire just before SSME start so that hydrogen gas cant build up under the pad. The SSMEs run in a "fuel rich" setup so there is always some un-burned H2 coming out of the nozzles.
Yep. The brake assembly on one of the main landing gear locked up during the last few yards of the rollout and dragged the tire. The outboard tire blew out.

This is off-topic but it's space-related.

The red chains you see explode at the 0:49 mark. Those are the firing chains that activate the SRB's.

You can see the firing chain activate around the :49 point.

What do you think is the "firing chain"?

I Heard on landing on STS-51D that Discovery suffered extensive break damage and a blown tire.

It is the way it was broadcast, I have that same tape of the 51-D launch. Why do you have the screen name of a deceased astronaut????
