@xtremeimport "It reminds me a little bit of when MIR went down". MIR was the Russian space station that was decomissioned by letting it burn in the earth's atmosphere. During that process it broke into several pieces, which apparently looked very similar.
But I'd go further and say that people don't care about space. So many people don't even know that there are billions of galaxies out there, and probably trillions of other planets like Earth. They don't know that our Sun's atmosphere is going to expand and destroy our star system, or that around the same time a galaxy thats heading straight for ours and will collide with us.
Space is beautiful. I wish more people cared about it, we need to get out there!
@warfrek93 Everyone just thinks it's a waste of money, if only they realized how little NASA (and other countries' agencies) really cost, I mean comparitively, it's nothing. Military budgets for like a week would cover nasa for a year, yet you still have more people saying space is a waste of money. Lets be honest, there are immediate things the money could be spent on (world hunger), but if it's not going to be spent on that, why not Space? Space is important for our future, we just can't
@krazykhrisya Investing in NASA isn't a waste of money. Whats a waste of money is the enormous amount of money we spend on the Military. If we took just a quarter of what we spend on military funding and gave it to NASA they would be able to do so many amazing things.
CNN USA and CNN International were on the same feed during this coverage (but with different crawls and graphics). I remember this quite clearly... I was watching live. Miles O'Brien was a very detailed reporter on Shuttle and space issues. CNN doesn't have anyone like that anymore.
The CNN anchor clearly wants NASA to acknowledge that the orbiter disintegrated.
Compare this to 1963, when Walter Cronkite refused to report the death of JFK until he received official confirmation. He didn't push for answers he knew his Dallas affiliates didn't have.
Boy, have things changed. I miss the objectivity our news once had.
@laronmaron98 Because today there is dumb competition between cable news networks to get the story out first. Media has becoming a marketing frenzy rather than news, it's all about ratings. Brutal.
@jazzguitar2010 I agree. It not just US news, they are tabloid media everywhere in Europe compete too. I know the UK news like BBC, Guardian, and Dailymail even tried to compete with each other.
@laronmaron98 sure, but well did an image of kennedy's head with a bullet wound float around that time ?
yet here there was obviously something going wrong, because even amateurs know, that when multiple peaces of the one space shuttle are visible and communication was lost for over 30 minutes, take that into combination, and every news man (even from the kennedy days) would bring what everyone is thinking into discussion.
so it's a far stretch to compare those two news stories....
@StangV2 Whats your point, I was right, What i said did happen, the person i responded to said and i quote "You don't seem to know what you're talking about either."
so whether other things contributed to the destruction of the challenger was not the point, HE said that i didnt know what i was talking about, yet even you admit that it did happen. simple as that. he was wrong to say i didnt know what i was talking about.
@StangV2 to better explain, the O Ring is the reason for the gas build up. So maybe he should have went to what ever source he was on a read down 2 more sentences.
my comment is just less detailed than his, he tried to sound like a smart ass and failed.
@wowme110 LMFAO at you saying it only cost 6 dollars, you realize that is the bulk cost right, if you tried to by that same piece of foam it would cost you about 200 dollars, it falling of and hitting the wing has nothing to do with the lowest bigger
and that is not the same reason the challenger blew up you idiot. the Challenger blew up because one of the boosters didnt open and created a gas build up and it exploded.
dont post when you dont know what the fuck you are talking about.
@dsjj251 I exaggerated a bit on it being $6 ok a 200 dollar piece of foam. (for columbia) and no it was seal failure that WAS responsible (for challenger). Anything that happened from there was from that. And I know more than you may think I know about it. But your the expert obviously. Fuck face. I was just disgusted that billion dollar space vehicles and astronauts get taken out by inexpensive parts.
@wowme110 ok dumbass, but they werent cheap parts in the sense you were tryign to make them out to be, they were still the best quality, the price was just lower than people like you would have espected
