"Obviously a major malfunction."

That's my nomination for the understatement of the 20th Century, bar none.

I see simularities between the decision making that led to the sinking of Titanic on April 15th, 1912 and the decisions that led to the STS-51L Challenger Disaster on January 28th, 1986. Both those decisions led to predictable suprises. The reason is that people thought on both situations that we can get away with anything with their vehicles until it comes back to haunt them whether it is ship sinking with over 1500 people lost or a multi-billion dollar explosion on national television.

Of course you gotta find out what happened. The good to that ,is that, if we find out what happened, maybe we can prevent it from happening again. But how about using our ideas to prevent any loss of life. Why not use a computer operated space rocket? Then a smaller rocket for our astronauts.

i'm glad we've got brave people like these to advance humanity. rest in peace, you are heroes!

The breakup of the space shuttle Columbia didn't have a fraction of the same impact on me as the Challenger disaster did. God bless them all though - they're all my personal heroes. Apollo 1, STS 51L and STS 107
