NASA helps mankind advance his knowledge.....even if you are starving or are being oppressed, we have pictures of stars and stuff for you to look at, if your government lets you. We also went to the moon and got some rocks that you will never see. Sorry we cannot buy you a cheese burger cause we have spent trillions of dollars in furthering mankind with useless crap.

@Beatnick79 THIS ISNT FUNNY DUDE !

1:43 = FAIL

@plotkin514 No noise was needed - the visual said it all. A straight plume suddenly changed............
-
@plotkin514 At that ditance, you wouldn't really hear an explosion, and it would come about 45 seconds later...

The only area NASA needs help in is "risk assesment". Read the story about STS 27, we almost lost a shuttle on re-entry, and it was only the SECOND FLIGHT BACK after the Challenger.

@69adrummer maybe you should do some research on the progresses made because of NASA. Improved Mammogram technology is one of the most important.

@GTElwood I agree...its eerie, very upsetting...because it totally vaporizes. =[

Earing Challenger's noise stopping suddenly ... give me bad feelings even if happened 25y ago.
I just deleted a bunch of offensive (and stupid) comments from this video, despite my policy of letting people comment freely. But not with this video and not with this tragedy. Please feel free to comment further though, as long as it's kept, well.... I don't want displays of disgusting behavior. I'll have to approve comments before they're posted, but so long as they're not profanity-laced or ignorant, I'll let them through. Thanks.

NASA is also the world's foremost organization (along with NOAA) for climate change research. Not to mention medical research. Not to mention the extensive education outreach helping our schools, especially minority and underserved schools. ETC. Those "wasted billions" helped a lot of people and saved far more lives than it has cost. And it holds the key to the future of the human race beyond warring, famine and poverty. The "money spent in space" DOES help the poor on Earth.
