Your welcome :) I totally agree with you on that, unfortunatly those are the dangers of space travel, but I still would want to experience being an astronaut lol I will post up Reach for the stars as soon as i can, thank you for watching

@Willysmb44 actually, they "did" at that time of the program. It seems strange that astronauts merely wore crash helmets during ascent and descent, but at that time the space shuttle was thought of as an airlliner, more than anything.

Astronauts don't put their own gear on, they each have someone putting everything on FOR them. Otherwise, this was a very well-done sequence.

to bad it skipped the explosion at t+72 secs. into the flight.

[MrBennetzen]

Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace. Where never lark, or even[8] eagle flew — And, while with silent lifting mind I have trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space, - Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

High Flight- John Gillespie Magee Jr.

[MrBennetzen]

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there, I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air....

Thank you so much for uploading this film. I haven't seen it since it was televised over 20 years ago. I don't now where these people's bravery comes from - to sit facing the sky and allow a massive explosion to lift them so high that they are in space. Learning about Challenger's last crew makes me feel even more heartbroken over the betrayal and catastrophe that followed.

You can tell they are wearing training versions of the suit, rather than the flight version as they are missing the parachute pack.

So sad that the crews will NEVER make it into space safely...
