Space shuttle Columbia Explosion

On February 1st, 2003, the space shuttle Columbia disintegrated during its re-entry into the atmosphere. The seven astronauts were killed.
82 seconds after the launch of shuttle (STS-107), a sizable piece of foam struck the leading edge of Columbia's left wing, at a speed between 650 and 950 km/h, making a hole in the protective tiles made of reinforced carbon-carbon (RCC), close to the landing gear area.
During the re-entry into the atmosphere, plasma at 1500 °C penetrated through this hole in the left wing protective shield, and progressively destroyed the inner part of the wing. The crew lost the control of the shuttle. A few second later, the vehicle disintegrated

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the first one-Einstein.

@ZebraKilla564 "thumbs up if you agree" That alone tells me you're one of those whores. How exactly is it that they "risk their lives to protect ours"? The hell, seriously?! It's their career they chose. So stfu. My respects to them nonetheless.

@Boeing747type8 there is more point if someone says "I'm risking my life for what i dream to be"

@hydralisk3313 i agree with you bro, and of course there is no point when someone says that astronauts are protecting our lives.
