Without those who have the urge to extend our knowledge, to find what is out there & have the courage to follow their dreams, the human race would never have evolved to the highly developed state of today. Some of those courageous individuals who followed that dream gave their all for that knowledge. We should all be greatful to them, and remember them, for that thirst for knowledge and hunger for adventure which came at so high a price.
I remember that morning. I turned on the TV and the channel that was on was CNN. I screamed when I saw the footage of the pieces raining down. I'll never forget. The crew has reached the final frontier and will watch over us.
"They" keep hinting more and more that the crew didn't die almost instantly, that they DID know what was happening and suffered, just like the Challenger crew. We were so certain for so long that nothing could have survived that explosion, but eventually they were willing to show us which part of the falling debris was the intact crew cabin, the crew all more than likely still conscious. I don't want to hear the same thing said 10 years from now about Columbia.
@kayper54 Columbia wasnt the same kind of accident. The crew module separated like Challengers intact. But Columbia was still going thru re-entry. So the crew module broke up and burned peeling kind of like an onion. With pressure suits and the emergency O2 flowing if activated, they could have survived a minute or two.
@aimhigh59 Thank you for your reply. You obviously have more knowledge on this topic than the average youtuber (and certainly more than I have.) Now I have many questions, but I'm afraid to ask them for fear of the answers. Ignorance may or may not be bliss, but in this case perhaps what I don't know won't hurt me. :(
I remember hearing this. It was just a really loud boom. Since were in a drought in Texas, A piece of this was found in a lake a couple days ago in Nacogdoches,Texas. Since the water levels went down 11 ft, it just floated to the surface.
just watched this for the first time and am in tears. I am sure they are in heaven as angels and i hope and pray their families and loved ones have healed from the loss.
A piece of debris was found yesterday, August 1, 2011, in a lake in Texas, eight years after that painful, tragic accident last February 1, 2011. It reminded me of the Columbia STS-107 crew. It makes me want to cry again. You will never be forgotten. :'(
I still don't know why they didn't use Canada Arm's camera to view the leading edge of the wing. I doubt that the crew could ever have been rescued because it didn't have a docking adaptor at that time. I think it had an airlock from a previous Hubble mission so I guess had another orbiter been on standby, they could have EVA'd to Discovery or Endeavour. I doubt this would ever have happened, because Columbia would also have to be completely abandoned with no chance of future repairs.
@davemckiernan The arm didnt fly on that mission. When a Spachab flies, the arm does not to save weight. Columbia did not have an external airlock or docking adapter. In its STS-107 configuration, it had a tunnel to Spacehab. The airlock was internal. Columbia was too heavy to fly to the ISS and was never going there. All orbiters had internal airlocks initially when built and were changed once the ISS construction was started.
@aimhigh59 I didn't know the arm wasn't present. One of the three possible configs would have left the MIR docking adapter in place, but they removed it - perhaps to save weight or to make room for the EDO? I wonder if they might have done things differently had the adapter still been there? They didn't really have any choice but to risk de-orbit as far as I can tell at least. I'm no expert though.
@davemckiernan Columbia was never modified to dock to Mir or go to the ISS. She was to heavy to fly the northern trajectory. The other orbiters are lighter. The EDO config was at the rear of the payload bay and was used on STS-107. With out pursuing to visually look for damage or using the EVA suits to do a space walk Nasa simply knew nothing about damage. The crew was told about a hit after they got on orbit like all crews are. They simply didnt pursue it enough. I am an expert on the subject.
fuckin clueless twats on here they could of been saved you idiot they were orbiting the earth for 16 days before re entry day thats a window of 16 days to fix the problem they let them fly back home with a hole in the left wing you do the maths you dense idiot you dont know fuck all
at the end of the day i blame nasa and their incompetence that this happened im glad obama has cut their fundings for the orion project they just arent fit to run nasa apparentley nasa engineers told managment of the foam strike 2nds after lift off and said they thought it may of damaged columbias left wing but they brushed it aside and said there wasnt a safety issue i hope it haunts them to this day that they should of listened to the engineers pleas
The foam hit the wing 80 seconds after liftoff. Do the maths and you'll realise why they didn't have the time and the possibility of coming down straight away.
rip columbia and her crew still upsets me to this day that this happened to 7 lovley people who did a job for what they believed in space exploration they will never be forgotten nor the challanger and her crew rip
@marbleblastfan The naming of the space shuttle has nothing to do with the lettering or what letter the names begin with, but anyway there wont be any more space shuttle made or renamed because from what I heard NASA isnt doing the space program or sendind shuttles up anymore. thats just what I heard dont know if its true.
members were not wearing gloves, and one was not wearing a helmet so most likely it was this one as I said it did not come no ones head it was already off
@simking01 Yes one crew member was not wearing a helmet yet. It could be his. But all helmets failed below the suit neck ring attaching point or the soft material causing helmets to be pulled off of crew members heads. In other words the helmet rings were still attached to the suit rings even though the helmets rested on the ground by themselves.
Very moving..a wonderful tribute, thank you. If not for brave, curious persons our own country could/would be quite different today. Risking one's very life for the betterment of mankind is an ultimate sacrifice. Learning from history and our past errors, an ultimate lesson. To be so close to home.....and also, so close to heaven when you are called....Here's hoping and praying the last missions go smoothly and all return safely with life-long stories of wonder.
Heroes are what this people their bravery shall not be forgetted people like this make human kind better they tried not they did make a change thanks to them we can explore even more and dream even more about going to see the stars
people like them make me start a new passion for astronomy these people may not be forgotted.
Reach for it, you know. Go push yourself as far as you can
why did they not make it a priority to check the tiles and wing when they got into space? they have equipment to look the vehicle over in space correct?
@gdinger74 Therein lies the rub. For 22 years of shuttle flights, debris was hitting the orbiter without resulting in any deaths (though they came very close at least once before). NASA management and engineers stopped viewing debris hits on the tiles as normal, despite the fact that they weren't designed to take any foam impact. When engineers asked for satellite images of the wing, management didn't see it as necessary. Such is engineering - lessons are learned through the blood of innocents.
@roamingcroat that'd be right, nasa management causing the disasters of this as well, They were at fault for the challenger accident too. I hope the people at nasa management got 20 years in jail for both of these fuckup's that should'nt have ever happened. Unfortunately, this has killed off the shuttle.
@gdinger74 The equipment to look at tiles and wings on the shuttle came after this accident. This was a spacehab Mission (laboratory) on orbit by itself and not near ISS or anything. They did have 2 space suits on board to look if they wanted to but choose not to.
The comment is ridiculous. There's no way possible to just change directions and go to the ISS. It took 2 solid rocket motors burning 2 minutes, an external fuel tank and 3 engines 9 minutes just to get 200,000 lbs of spacecraft into orbit. Now you think you push a button and change your orbit?
Do some homework, you have no idea what your talking about.
its rude to like a vid about someones death and its also bad to dislike a vid about a tribute to someone who is dead. i cant decide. thumbs up if you had the same problem
Navy Capt. David Brown, was interred on March 12, the last of the Columbia seven to be buried and the 19th astronaut laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia, which Brown considered his home town.
The three Columbia crew mates buried at Arlington were laid to rest just a few feet from where the unidentified remains of Challenger astronauts rest beneath a granite memorial after their 1986 tragedy.
Navy Commander Laurel Clark was buried at Arlington on March 10, which would have been her 42nd birthday. She had considered Racine, Wisconsin, her hometown. NASA and military officials posthumously awarded Dr. Clark three medals for distinguished service to her country — the Defense Distinguished Service Medal, NASA's Distinguished Service Medal and the NASA Spaceflight Medal.
Air Force Lt. Col. Michael Anderson, Columbia's payload commander, was buried in Arlington National Cemetery on March 7. Across the country, Washington's state Transportation Commission honored Anderson by renaming state route 904 for him. The astronaut had considered Spokane his home. The 20-mile highway loops from Cheney to Interstate 90 at exits 257 and 270.
Dr. Kalpana Chawla's remains were cremated and her family held a funeral in India in March. As the first Indian-born woman astronaut, she was a role model for young women in her native country.
The remains of Israeli Air Force Col. Ilan Ramon were buried in Israel on Feb. 11. He was mourned widely in the Jewish community because of its symbols he had carried aboard Columbia. He had taken several Holocaust objects including a Torah used at a Bar Mitzvah ceremony in a concentration camp, and a drawing entitled "Moon Landscape," by 14-year-old Petr Ginz, who died at Auschwitz.
Air Force Col. Rick Husband's funeral was in Clear Lake, Texas, on Feb. 5. He then was buried in his hometown of Amarillo, Texas. The high plains city renamed its airport as the Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport.
Navy Commander William McCool's funeral service was March 1 at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. His remains were retuned to his home state of Washington for burial.
@biancaphil08 Yes. As shuttle debris was gathered across Texas over the ensuing weeks, the remains of the astronauts also were gathered, in pieces, and identified through DNA analysis
Nasa engineers were very concerned on reviewing the lift off footage just two days into the mission and seeing the chunk of foam hitting the left wing RCC panels, but they were dismissed by the powers that be - No one even considered options to examine the damaged wing before re-entry or a possible rescue. Those brave men and women should still be alive. I swear, arrogant government bureaucrats are the source of too many preventable deaths because they don't value human life.
its so sad..... ther my idols now,..... my bro wants to B an astronaut i hope wen he grows n if he be one this never happens again!!! D: MY HEROS!!!! :'(
great video. such a loss. i did the video for the private funeral tribute (houston) for Laurel and hope to one day ask Jon if ok to post on youtube. as we sit here living in Laurel's home there are so many reminders of her, and the life that filled this home so joyfully...thanks for posting.
I still blame enviromentalists. They use to use R-12 refrigerant in the process of making the foam on the tank. They had to start using another chemical in which led to foam coming loose and hitting the shuttle. If they were alowed to use R-12 this would of never happend. When they first launching the shuttle they never had foam problems like they did or do now. And those last moments must of been beyond hell after the tape ends. When the cabin finaly fell apart.

"In memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice so that others may reach for the stars." Such a tragedy that could have been averted had they an escape capsule or something simple as "on board external cameras"!
@nathanfishing3000 the fire happened when a piece of foam fell off and hit the nose but also could have been when a tile fell of the nose that takes intense heat and after being used so many times they didnt have a replacement and nasa urged them to land but all failed and they got destroyed into particles rip crew of sts107 what a waste of life atleast leading up to it they easily had the best time of there lifes zero gravity rip again
@nathanfishing3000 During launch, a piece of foam (about the size of a briefcase) struck the leading edge of the left wing, leaving a hole. During re-entry, the heat generated from the atmosphere "leaked" into the wing and caused a systematic structural failure and eventual disintegration of the wing; then, ultimately, the shuttle itself.
that second astronaut the one from israel was with hsi family before he left and they made a joke about the challenger blowing up and then look what happened.
"Per aspera ad astra" is a Latin phrase on a plaque on the only remaining launch structure left as a memorial from the Apollo era of American spaceflight. Ed White, along with fellow astronauts Gus Grissom and Roger Chaffee were killed during a pre-launch test for the first Apollo mission (Apollo 1) on this launch pad.
"Per aspera ad Astra" means "to the stars through difficulties".
I think all seven members of Columbia knew of and lived their chosen careers by this Latin phrase.
@mach25man Yep,they would have been hard at " Working the problem" ...trying to keep it on the line,rather than think of other things...thankfully their last moments would have been quick.
A horrible loss. deaths most likely related to final bulkhead failure and then the inevitable explosive decompression, so it was very quick in the end, not alot of suffrage, I would guess. The released report explains quite a bit with the restraint slack adjusters and such. A very nice video,,thank you.
I love this song and the Music that goes with it.... It goes along with the movie and ill give it 5 stars and it makes me cry :'( They were good men/ women .. They inspired alot of people and I love it

This was a case of money taking power over life, instead of putting this crew on the iss and sending a shuttle up too pick them up later, they nasa, decided too take a gamble with the re-entry, they should have known better.
That was really sad when it blew up, I remember it go across my TV screen. They showed the footage over and over. A lot of people were and still are really sad. That was a shame it could have been prevented if an agency wanted to care!
At least they died what they loved doing. I learned that on take off a hole was created in the left wing and debris fell to earth after take off. They probably could not have fixed this problem. They also had the not the best gear. The restraints to the seats were lose and the flight suits and helmets were not greatly looked over. What a loss. R.I.P.
They did not have bad gear. The seats and suit were fine. What your hearing is that the equipment did not perform like they thought it would. They could have been bolted to their seats and it still would not have mattered. Nothing man made would have survived a breakup at that speed and altitude.
@USMCMarineForceRecon I belive Nasa could have saved them, they could have had them inspect the shuttle, then, deliver a rescue shuttle. But im not an expert and maybe im wrong.
@USMCMarineForceRecon gay men die doing what they love also i cant understand your point. they engaged risky behavior. they got killed. do you encourage that sort of thing.
this is very nice... i went to cape kennedy last year and heard about the astronauts of columbia and i....i was about to cry.....that night i prayed to those 7 astronauts almost all night..............may they rest in peace AMEN.
What are you getting your panties up in a twist about? If I have an opinion about that piece of shit, Curious George, then I'll share it since he is featured in the video. By the way Einstein, go learn how to write and spell before you start trying to form opinions.
the sts 107, sts 51L and Apollo 1 accidents will live in our hearts forever. Those people died doing a gret service to a nation and let us never forget them. Gus Grissom, Roger Chaffe, Ed White, Francis R. Scobee, Michael J. Smith, Judy Resnik, Elisson Onizuka, Ron McNair, Greg Jarvis, Christa McCauliffe, Rick Husband, Willie McCool, Michael Anderson, Kapana Chawla, David Brown, Laurel Clark and IIan Ramon, we will never forget you and we all wish you were with us today.
Poor astronauts :,( FUCK the 22 people who disliked this video.

@biancaphil08 Yes. As shuttle debris was gathered across Texas over the ensuing weeks, the remains of the astronauts also were gathered, in pieces, and identified through DNA analysis

WHY DID THEY HAVE TO DIE? TELL ME!
TwilightFan667788 1 year ago
Nasa engineers were very concerned on reviewing the lift off footage just two days into the mission and seeing the chunk of foam hitting the left wing RCC panels, but they were dismissed by the powers that be - No one even considered options to examine the damaged wing before re-entry or a possible rescue. Those brave men and women should still be alive. I swear, arrogant government bureaucrats are the source of too many preventable deaths because they don't value human life.

I still blame enviromentalists. They use to use R-12 refrigerant in the process of making the foam on the tank. They had to start using another chemical in which led to foam coming loose and hitting the shuttle. If they were alowed to use R-12 this would of never happend. When they first launching the shuttle they never had foam problems like they did or do now. And those last moments must of been beyond hell after the tape ends. When the cabin finaly fell apart.

nathanfishing3000 1 year ago
@nathanfishing3000 the fire happened when a piece of foam fell off and hit the nose but also could have been when a tile fell of the nose that takes intense heat and after being used so many times they didnt have a replacement and nasa urged them to land but all failed and they got destroyed into particles rip crew of sts107 what a waste of life atleast leading up to it they easily had the best time of there lifes zero gravity rip again
lkj802 1 year ago
@nathanfishing3000 During launch, a piece of foam (about the size of a briefcase) struck the leading edge of the left wing, leaving a hole. During re-entry, the heat generated from the atmosphere "leaked" into the wing and caused a systematic structural failure and eventual disintegration of the wing; then, ultimately, the shuttle itself.

"Per aspera ad astra" is a Latin phrase on a plaque on the only remaining launch structure left as a memorial from the Apollo era of American spaceflight. Ed White, along with fellow astronauts Gus Grissom and Roger Chaffee were killed during a pre-launch test for the first Apollo mission (Apollo 1) on this launch pad.
"Per aspera ad Astra" means "to the stars through difficulties".
I think all seven members of Columbia knew of and lived their chosen careers by this Latin phrase.

A horrible loss. deaths most likely related to final bulkhead failure and then the inevitable explosive decompression, so it was very quick in the end, not alot of suffrage, I would guess. The released report explains quite a bit with the restraint slack adjusters and such. A very nice video,,thank you.

At least they died what they loved doing. I learned that on take off a hole was created in the left wing and debris fell to earth after take off. They probably could not have fixed this problem. They also had the not the best gear. The restraints to the seats were lose and the flight suits and helmets were not greatly looked over. What a loss. R.I.P.
USMCMarineForceRecon 1 year ago 13
They did not have bad gear. The seats and suit were fine. What your hearing is that the equipment did not perform like they thought it would. They could have been bolted to their seats and it still would not have mattered. Nothing man made would have survived a breakup at that speed and altitude.

@USMCMarineForceRecon I belive Nasa could have saved them, they could have had them inspect the shuttle, then, deliver a rescue shuttle. But im not an expert and maybe im wrong.
