  • "There was absolutely no pressure to get this particular launch off..." Liar liar, pants on fire.

  • The persons who put pressure on to send Challengers to space despite all the things that could go wrong, are god damn criminals!

  • @Squad2ND and they still got their promotions! even though they KNEW this

    would happen! What disgusts me is that nobody did anything about it when

    they were informed of the matter.

  • "The first civilian in space..." Right at the very moment humanity realized space was open for everyone, then gets destroyed and won't be revived for decades if not ever...

    Rest in peace the crew of Challenger.

  • to me the most angering thing about the challenger accident is not just that it was preventable but that the lessons on the evils of negligence was still not learned and caused yet another accident.

  • Evening news is where they begin with 'Good evening', and then proceed to tell you why it isn't...

  • I cant believe they actually let challenger lift off after all the doubts smh wow

  • i saw shuttle endeavor go up

  • @1800akatsuki "blown to bits", that's not true. The crew cabin was intact and was blown clear during the explosion. Some or all of the crew survived the initial blast, some may have still been conscious. It was the blunt force trauma of hitting the ocean surface that killed them if any were still alive and they were all found dead in the crew cabin by recovery teams.  The real horror isn't the false assumption that they were blown apart- it was that they may have been aware & helpless.

  • Jessie Moore's statement was a lie. That same night, Ronald reagan was to address the nation and in his speech he was going to mention Christa McAuliffe above the world to educate us on the excitement of space travel. If they had put it off 1 more day, the lessons she was to teach would not have been heard because they were set for the 4th day of the mission, which would then have been Saturday or Sunday. I will never forget them. Truly a very sad moment for our nation and their families.

  • those 7 scientist got blown to bits. they could never to find the complete body parts of the victims

  • The Space Shuttle Challenger is a classic example of groupthink. They were so thrilled that they were launching a teacher into space that they ignored the engineers who warned it wasn't safe to launch. Those people are criminals for doing so.
