all of nasa are heros and im sure if the crew knew that there lives ment the end to our maned space flights they would have wanted it to continue. its a sad time to see all this come to a end. yes its dangerous but i would gladly give my life to continue to beter mankind.
it really doesnt matter if the bodies were all found or if all the pieces of the shuttle were found. IT SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED IN THE 1ST PLACE. This was an accident that could have been avoided. May God bless the families and may the 7 that were killed R.I.P.
@TOLTECAAZTECA Space exploration is a world-wide effort, any loss is felt by all people who are passionate about it. It was a tragedy on so many levels...
all the bodies were not recovered they were disentegrated into matter in thin air u actually think the bodies could have been recovered after a terrible accident like that even parts of the ship wasnt recovered more lease bodies GOD BLESS THERE SOULS
@jessiemtz432 All bodies were recovered. 80,000 pieces of the orbiter were recovered. Some big, some small, some metal and some paper. Its well documented 8 year old information.
@jessiemtz432 Moron....my friend was on the Seal team that was sent from NAS Oceania (Norfolk) to do the diving and recover the bodies from the cockpit module that survived the blast.
@Swordsfor200Alex The crew module did not survive the breakup and did not land in the water. Much of nothing was found in the lake. The bodies were recovered on land.
@aimhigh59 My bad....I was talking about Challenger. Thanks for pointing that out. I was watching Challenger video's and switched over to this one and forgot it was Columbia. I lived in Dallas when that happened so, yea, I know not much survived the re-entry when it started to break up.
CHECK OUT "2012 UFOs Connections and Revelations" ON YOUTUBE This is a compilation of evidence revealed by former and present American presidents, astronauts, military personnel, politicians along with credible aired UFO footage. This compilation also contains planned revelations regarding knowledge of life beyond Earth along with it's current and ever ongoing presence which is being hidden from the public. This knowledge has been hidden from the public for over 50 years. + MORE.
the band Rush wrote a song about Columbias maiden flight and a video it's on youtube its called Countdown check it out Rush Countdown.......Nasa invited them to watch the launch live.
i dont get why everybody says its "so sad" like its the saddest day.
bus accidents, bombs, drunk driving etc kill more than 7 people everyday.
actually, LESS people died that day
plus HAHAHAHA THEY DIED IM A FUCKING FREAK NARCASSIST SADIST WHO LOVES HATE AND DARKNESS HAHA THE WIDOWS LOST A HUSBAND THAT COULD'VE BEEN A HERO
omg i mfucking filth..a freak..im killing myself, im a fucking pathetic loser for expecting sympathy...my loser depression is not an excuse to mock the dead.
i did quite working, i call it retirement to savings at age 51. i also have a younger wife and a 4 year old son. i surf the web for fun and i do have fun. NASA is going bye bye. im going to see to that. with any luck at all i might even become your US senator.
I stood there outside the classroom surrounded by the serial killers, rapists and cannibal killers watching it on TV thinking "well, what do you know, I'm NOT the one, and what a shitty pilot" then George ordered more pancakes.
Coming up after this: Ssssssave my sssssssisterrrr............ sorta, by City and Colour.
pilotcoolbiz, Only us pilots understand, what others see as a waste of time might be important to us for reasons they will never know. And that's OK. It takes a special kind of people to take the risks aviators and astronauts alike take every day. But remember people , without risk there is no reward....
@datzfast If you are so desperate to not be working as to deprive all of civilization of progress you could just shoot yourself - everyone would be happier. You wouldn't have to work, and the rest of us could go on pushing for bigger achievements with one less leech on our backs. If suicide isn't your thing, you could just quit working. Sure there'd be a little less tax money going around, but at least you would be content and shut up. Now go elsewhere and let us honor more important lives.
@datzfast Indyfan22k made a very good point. Why spend money and resources on senseless violence and hostility? Like the hostility you showed indyfan22k.
@indyfan22k, i will totally agree with this comment, but it wasnt the low budget that killed the astronauts, it was poor management that did. Much like Challenger, nobody seemed to talk to each other. My biggest issue was that it was requested Hubble be turned to look at the shuttle, or spy satalites be used, but the idea was shot down by the decision of ONE PERSON?
@indyfan22k thats because there is no profit in spaceflight, but assloads of profit in bombing the crap out of innocent people. It is my view that all wars are crimes.
@indyfan22k i comepletely agree with you. and with obama discontinuing the space launch program i dont know if i willl ever be an astronaut............
@indyfan22k OK let's think this through. Defense or space? Both are very important, but I choose defense. We have to be able to defend our own nation before we can explore space.
ungrateful ?? come on. Be Serious. You military folks are treated like heroes no matter what your branch of military, rank, job, or actions you can go to any state in the Union find people who thank you and respect you.
The Military deployments, Battles, and Wars do NOT Keep us Safe. Why kick a hornets nest ? The Hornets weren't bothering anyone. But now that you kicked the kicked the hornets nest they are angrier.
@indyfan22k That is why Vietnam veterans came home to be spat on. You disgust me. We are not in charge, we do not make the decisions. We follow orders because that is what good soldiers do. We live to protect people like you. How about you go out there, and stand in their shoes. We risk our lives for our country, and what do we get? Disrespect. Get out of this country if you can not appreciate that.
@iamenjoi Oh and just so you know. Hero's are the few who get the Medal of honor, usually posthumously. Hero's 99.9% of the time come home in a coffin. You suffer the same over use of the word as the media and the rest of the political douche bags trying to get traction from the suffering and lose of others. The rest of us were and are just doing our duty. We were called or inducted and did the job asked of us. In the end, someone must serve, if not you, then someone else.
@GunBroker100 I would rather it be me than someone else. I live to serve, and if I must come home in a coffin, so be it. As long as my family, and my friends are safe.
@indyfan22k Ahh, the confidence of youth. 27 years old and knows everything, how wonderful for you. I was that age,,,, once. I was in Vietnam on my 27th birthday. I had already figured out I didn't know it all. Hero's? Really? Then why was I spit on and called vile names when I came home? The hornets kicked first. Remember the Cole, The Marine barracks, the Embassy bombings, both Trade center bombings? Perhaps you'll be standing at the next bomb sight. Hero's,, Your the punch line of a bad joke
ungrateful ?? come on. Be Serious. You military folks are treated like heroes no matter what your branch of military, rank, job, or actions you can go to any state in the Union find people who thank you and respect you.
whats wierd about this is like when i was 5 i had a dream that a space shuttle crashed over the skys of texas and then a few days later space shuttle columbia did exactly that
They need to cancel the space program once and for all. Billions have been spent on the shuttle program. For what? I doubt anyone can name anything tangible that has come from it. Space programs give the country international prestige -- until an accident happens. What a waste of money
@veryslyfox techtran.msfc.nasa.gov/at_home.html a website that explains a whole host of benefits and new tech that has come about as a result of the space program Im sure even a simpleton like you can follow.
@pkryderuk1 You're either very gullible or simply have downs syndrome. That list was written by Nasa for chrissake. If a tobacco company had a list of good things that came from from tobacco, would you believe that list too?? Wow you're dumb!
@Simo4404 The bodies of the crew, were not recovered. They bodies were probably, as they shuttle reenter the atmosphere, the shuttle tore apart rather quickly and some of the crew were probably suck out from their seat and sucked out into space. If not that then they were pretty much burn to crisp in reentire.
@HalfBritishBoy Absolutely right. The bodies were burned. They were not sucked out though. Not enough differential pressure at that heigth. The crew module kind of peeled like an onion before breaking up completely. Not much man made can survive that trauma. Once the seat belts and the seats themselves failed, they were mixed in with everything else.
@eastsidelife4ever36 Its not impossible. 80,000 pieces came back that were recovered. Some were pretty big ! 8000 of those were pieces from the crew module including what was left of their bodies. One item particulary interesting was a 500 sheet ream of paper for the orbiter printer that came back so pristine, you could use it again for another mission. You would not be saying its impossible if you were part of the investigation that took place.
@aimhigh59 my best friends dad is a scientist that works with nasa.. he might not be on an investigation team but he knows whats goin on.. he was the one who told me this.. i wouldnt have known otherwise cuz i have no knowledge of the space program.. and if u have something that has to do with the nasa space program then i might me wrong.. im just sayn i would think the bodies would have disintegrated but maybe im wrong..
@aimhigh59 i also read ur comments on the video of the challenger explosion.. u were explaining to some guy the reason the challenger exploded was becuz one of the boosters burnt something.. didnt the challenger blow up becuz of an o-ring failure?
@eastsidelife4ever36 This info is well documented. The cold o-rings did not seal a poorly designed joint between 2 SRB segments. The SRB usually sends the fire out of the nozzle. The failing seal gave the burning solid fuel inside another path to get out. It was like a blow torch. The torch burnt threw the strut holding the SRB to the ET tank. The SRB pivoted into the tank. The rest is history.
@aimhigh59 oh well u convinced me.. from the way u talk u probably work in the space program and i wont argue anymore.. but see i dont know really what im talking about but i just said what i thought happened..
@aimhigh59 Nothing exploded. The orbiter broke apart structurally. Forget about the comment made above by Simo4404. I'm not saying the bodies were not damaged by the breakup and the burning and the fall but what was left was recovered. And all were identified.
All bodies were recovered. To be more specific, PIECES of bodies.
On one person's property there was a foot, a hand, a leg from the knee down, a thigh, a skull, a heart, and an upper torso with the chest ripped in half.
Me too. I want to see every vehicle NASA launches at a $20B+ development cost blow up until congress forces them to use cheap and reliable commercial vehicles like Atlas.
By using this song with the astronauts pictures you're basically saying that the astronauts were morons. You don't understand this Pink Floyd song, idiot.
sad video but the Music is a great choice. But it's a sad story. It's time to put the fleet to sleep. I hope they don't sell it as they planned but rather place them in glass cases in major cities for people to view... maybe move them around. But Florida, Texas and California help build it (as Im sure most states took part).
NEVER FORGET: no one was arrested at NASA for murdering these astronauts, nor the Columbia astronauts, even though NASA confessed that it was criminal negligence (aka manslaughter)!
"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"! DUHHHHH!!!!
im reading into this on wiki but its not makin since to me when they said there wing was damaged, wiki is pointed out the triangle thing near the left wing, i thought that was an attachment or something??
PHOENIX "SUPER LIFT" SYSTEM!!! MAXIMUM SIX STRAP ON BOOSTERS AROUND A CENTRAL 2 STAGE CORE!!! ALL INTERCHANGEABLE AND STANDARDIZED!!! TOP MOUNTED ORBITER!!! ALL TITANIUM ALLOY CONSTRUCTION!!! ORBITER "ESCAPE CAPSULE" (NOSE SECTION ITSELF)!!! 210 TONS LOW EARTH ORBIT!!! AEROGEL HIGH TEMPERATURE REUSABLE SURFACE INSULATION (IT'S BETTER)!!! A FLARED FUSELAGE WITH CHIMES (LIKE THE SR-71) GIVES THE PHOENIX MORE OF A STEALTH THAN ORBITER APPEARANCE!!! AWESOME! NOW I JUST NEED 10 BILLION! LOL
THIS PIECE OF "JUNK" HAS KILLED 14 PEOPLE SO FAR!!! WHERE IS THE ESCAPE CAPSULE NASA??? THE ASTRONAUTS "KNOW THE RISK" THEY SAY??? OH, I GET IT!!! THAT MEANS "EXPENDABLE"!!!
@Puff29646 have you seen an escape pod? they ,uh, arn't used to fly but more like... fall. that is why they have a parachute. so. in space. when you give something even a little bit of force it keep going until something else hits it, bumbs it, gravity pulls it, ect. so they have to have something to push it out of the shuttle and it will float until something changes its coarse i mean ya they could put thrusters on it but will it surrvive the impact? i don't know dude.
@Puff29646 so you want to end space exploration cause people might die trying? I don't care for your sentimentalism. Better to die doing something adventurous than on your sickbed.
I spent 3 days combing the Texas countryside, from February 1 to 5, documenting Columbia debris sites from Rice to Nacogdoches. I am grateful that my supervisor let me take the day off from work on short notice to take my last trip. I found several pieces of debris that had been marked by other searchers, and I photographed them.
The bags are filled with recovered pieces of the shuttle. The bags were marked with the precise gps coordinates of each piece of debris that had been located on that day. Those locations were then transfered to a map.
@AJproductions8910 You have 2 diff. missions mixed up. This mission was a spacehab mission strictly reasearch. The orbiter did not explode when re-entering. It broke apart due to a undetected hole in the wing.
I barely even heard of this shuttle accident.Theres hardly no communications or any footage.That's too bad that those guys at nasa are so uncopetent and just collecting fat checks.

@shammon1 The crew module was not recovered as a whole but as pieces just like the rest of the orbiter. About 40% of the cabin was recovered.
aimhigh59 1 year ago
@Simo4404 The bodies of the crew, were not recovered. They bodies were probably, as they shuttle reenter the atmosphere, the shuttle tore apart rather quickly and some of the crew were probably suck out from their seat and sucked out into space. If not that then they were pretty much burn to crisp in reentire.

@HalfBritishBoy All bodies were recovered. All the crew came out of the crew module. All bodies were returned to their families.

@aimhigh59 Well with the way she came down you would of thought they wouldve be burnt and/or sucked from the module.
HalfBritishBoy 1 year ago
@HalfBritishBoy Absolutely right. The bodies were burned. They were not sucked out though. Not enough differential pressure at that heigth. The crew module kind of peeled like an onion before breaking up completely. Not much man made can survive that trauma. Once the seat belts and the seats themselves failed, they were mixed in with everything else.

eastsidelife4ever36 10 months ago
@eastsidelife4ever36 Its not impossible. 80,000 pieces came back that were recovered. Some were pretty big ! 8000 of those were pieces from the crew module including what was left of their bodies. One item particulary interesting was a 500 sheet ream of paper for the orbiter printer that came back so pristine, you could use it again for another mission. You would not be saying its impossible if you were part of the investigation that took place.

@aimhigh59 my best friends dad is a scientist that works with nasa.. he might not be on an investigation team but he knows whats goin on.. he was the one who told me this.. i wouldnt have known otherwise cuz i have no knowledge of the space program.. and if u have something that has to do with the nasa space program then i might me wrong.. im just sayn i would think the bodies would have disintegrated but maybe im wrong..

aimhigh59 10 months ago
@aimhigh59 i also read ur comments on the video of the challenger explosion.. u were explaining to some guy the reason the challenger exploded was becuz one of the boosters burnt something.. didnt the challenger blow up becuz of an o-ring failure?
eastsidelife4ever36 10 months ago
@eastsidelife4ever36 This info is well documented. The cold o-rings did not seal a poorly designed joint between 2 SRB segments. The SRB usually sends the fire out of the nozzle. The failing seal gave the burning solid fuel inside another path to get out. It was like a blow torch. The torch burnt threw the strut holding the SRB to the ET tank. The SRB pivoted into the tank. The rest is history.

@aimhigh59 oh well u convinced me.. from the way u talk u probably work in the space program and i wont argue anymore.. but see i dont know really what im talking about but i just said what i thought happened..

Bradsworld1 6 months ago
@aimhigh59 Nothing exploded. The orbiter broke apart structurally. Forget about the comment made above by Simo4404. I'm not saying the bodies were not damaged by the breakup and the burning and the fall but what was left was recovered. And all were identified.
aimhigh59 6 months ago
@Simo4404
All bodies were recovered. To be more specific, PIECES of bodies.
On one person's property there was a foot, a hand, a leg from the knee down, a thigh, a skull, a heart, and an upper torso with the chest ripped in half.
Very scary, tragic, and sad.

@Puff29646 have you seen an escape pod? they ,uh, arn't used to fly but more like... fall. that is why they have a parachute. so. in space. when you give something even a little bit of force it keep going until something else hits it, bumbs it, gravity pulls it, ect. so they have to have something to push it out of the shuttle and it will float until something changes its coarse i mean ya they could put thrusters on it but will it surrvive the impact? i don't know dude.

I spent 3 days combing the Texas countryside, from February 1 to 5, documenting Columbia debris sites from Rice to Nacogdoches. I am grateful that my supervisor let me take the day off from work on short notice to take my last trip. I found several pieces of debris that had been marked by other searchers, and I photographed them.
