All we need now is for some idiot to say this was all faked. After all,anything from NASA -so the conspiracists claim-is fake.
-
@jwrx7tt01 No, the atmosphere was too thin at that point.
-
wouldn't this hole create heaps of drag during take off?
-
Or it was terrorism...
Which seems more likely to me considering debris used to hit the shuttle on launch all time time and nothing of the sort ever happened prior to that. Plus, the U.S. was about to invade Iraq at the time and the first ever Israeli astronaut was onboard.
Just a theory.

Someone please make the clicking stop.. My head is about to explode

@mininow All of a shuttle orbiter's onboard fuel supplies are kept in the OMS pods and in compartments beneath the payload bay. There aren't any tanks in the wings.
-
@mininow There are no fuel tanks inside the wings. The hole did cause control issues that were being counter acted by thrusters. The computer was still flying her at this point. This is normal during re-entry for the thrusters to maintain heading etc. Elevons and rudder are used farther into re-entry when the air is thicker.
-
If the wing was breached, wouldn't hot air rushed in the fuel tanks and ignite the whole thing? Or desrupt aerodynamics, increased drag and caused all sorts of control issues?

@shakeAbooty88 Not involved, but actually worked on them everyday. Many thousands of ppl were involved but never actually saw one or touched one. Even at KSC, only a few hundred actually got in them or around them everyday. Best job I ever had or will have.

@amgen52 I read somewhere, might have been on this post but I've looked at so many lately, that you were involved in the shuttle program for 25 years. That must have been a buzz, even with the very sad things that happened. Power to you.

Thank you very much. Very informative. A tight, cogent video piece can be a thing beauty. Missing was all the usual self serving pretentious drivel one usually has to endure. Thanks for all your time and effort.
