So much great history...thank you!

I love this art sytle, My personal image archive is littered with them from research old concepts and radical proposals, I'd love to somehow recreate it one day

Updoot & comment for The Algorithm... these are great. I'd never seen that really early Apollo round LM & CSM in space pic before. Do you have any more details on the 6-engine lifting body bomber(?) with the number 73 at 0:37? Maybe a project name? That's another one I've never seen.

Amazing!

Terrible SRB design that must have had Thiokol in a complete panic when the joint opened during the very first firing. Everything after that was putting bandages and patches in place to save it. The first act in this accident was MT not going to NASA and admitting they needed to go back to square one.

This is a good video to watch prior to reading ‘Command & Control’ by Schlosser…

In the good old days they didn’t just do a countdown, they did a countup…12:54 The head turn at 4:08 a moment of pure Cold War documentary cinematographic awesomeness…it’s like a nightmare version of the scene in ‘Gilda’ that the Shawshank prisoners went crazy over… 4:21 “uh Colonel…again, sir, if you could make sure you look into the camera until I say the word ‘Cut’ that would be…oh never mind” 1:10 why is New York City shooting missiles at Davenport Iowa? 3:40 this argument sounds like one a child would make. I have 4 blue M&M’s so I HAVE to have 4 red ones too! (Why do we need both planes and missiles at all range categories? How is that a chink in the armor?)

Me encanta ver estos vídeos de este Hito.

this reminds me of those School Films. I can can hear the projector.

I believe this was rescheduled from the 22nd due to Hugo, we visited KSS on the 22nd.

Murder isn't an accident.

What color eyes did Krista McCullough have? Blew. One blew this way, the other blew that way. 😂

Has the space program ever really resulted in anything of any real value? I mean, other than walking on the moon (basically just to say, "we did it"), or how fast beans sprout in zero gravity? Wouldn't all those trillions of dollars be better spent on projects of more lasting value? Famine, digging wells in Africa, decent housing for those who can't afford it, etc. RIP to all those who needlessly lost their lives.

I wouldn't drive my car if it was covered in thick ice/icicles like those at 3:10. It baffles me to this day that NASA "officials" thought it was ok to launch that freezing cold day. They clearly put budget and scheduling pressures (aka MONEY) over the lives of our astronauts. Sacrificed 7 human beings, our heroes....for money SMMFH. Losing Columbia and her crew proved to me that NASA officials didn't learn a thing from Challenger, .. cuz Columbia totally could have been avoided with a few pictures ffs.

It was indirectly murder.

10:07 thats an evil looking cloud of nitrogen tetroxide. I read John D Clark's Ignition! recently. He does a great job in conveying just how toxic the propellant and oxidisers of liquid fuelled rockets are.

When Sutter went down the question path with Arnie and Roger as to why a launch was made despite everyone knowing the SRBs were flawed, patched to deal with design problems and, as he said, "tender" Rodgers almost immediately deflected the testimony from that question. There's no doubt in my mind someone in the WH made it known it was going no matter what so McAuliffe could teach on day 4, a Friday and Rodgers was tasked with protecting the White House and the President The whole Teacher in Space program would be a bust if her lessons were done on a Saturday when the telecast planned in thousands of classrooms across the country would be worthless. To die because of a trivial scheduling mandate. Just terrible. I don't know if it was the President himself but there were some pretty strong personalities in that second term including Don Regan who fancied himself as the power behind the man.

No thrust control on the SRBs. The joint was "sealed" by melted aluminum after the o-rings failed. Main engine throttle-up and wind shear after Max Q caused vibration and flexing that broke the "seal" and led to the main tank burn-through.

also the first MPF launch for atlas.

While some have pointed to Reagan’s State of Union speech that evening as a reason, and even pointed out McAuliffe’s video lesson planned for the Sixth Day that needed to occur on a school day (Friday) - Ultimately, the decision to launch came down to individual motivations. Namely 5 individuals. Per Allan McDonald’s 2009 book, here were the likely reasons behind each: 1. Lawrence Larry Mulloy, NASA Solid rocket Program Mgr: the prior Shuttle launch in mid Jan 1986 of STS-61C Columbia had been delayed 3 times and scrubbed twice. One scrub was due to a transducer misreading in one of Larry’s SRBs. This month-long delay of 51C Columbia was counter to NASA’s and Larry’s stated goal to launch up to 12 times in 1986. Hence, Larry’s infamous statement of “When do you want to launch Thiokol, in April ?!??” 2. George Hardy, NASA Deputy Director of Science and Engineering, Marshall Flight Space Center: George made the infamous “I’m appalled, Morton Thiokol” statement during the end of the evening teleconference, which triggered the MTI leadership to caucus offline for 10min. George likely made that statement for the above Shuttle Program frequency goals as well. In addition, STS-51L Challenger had an extremely embarrassing scrub due to broken door-handle and lack of battery powered tool for the pad technicians. All broadcast on television the day before. 3. Stanley Reinartz, NASA Manager of the Shuttle Project Office, Marshall Flight Space Center: Stan’s predecessor showed much greater managerial authority & technical competency during Flight Readiness Reviews, but had retired in late 1985. Stan was brand new to the shuttle program(!) and seemingly followed Larry and George’s lean to launch. Ultimately if Stan’s predecessor had not retired, Morton Thiokol’s initial recommendation not to launch would likely have been heeded, per Allan McD’s book. In addition, it was Stan Reinartz who personally elected not to inform his NASA management @ KSC of the evening telecon; and many believe Stan shares the most blood on his hands along with Larry Mulloy. 4. Bob Lund and Jerry Mason - Morton Thiokol Manager and VP: NASA had been threatening in writing(!) to second source the SRB production starting in late 1986, much as they (Larry Mulloy) had steered the contract for recovered-SRB disassembly at KSC Bldg away from Lockheed & Thiokol over to Larry’s buddy’s company. There was also a large 3-Buy contract extension negotiation that Thiokol was negotiating in Dec-Jan 1986 with NASA, and Thiokol had already started capital $ investments in 1985 to increase production capacity at their Utah facilities to match the future 24 launch/year demand that NASA forecasted. ….Interestingly, Bob Lund and Jerry Mason’s “business hat” decisions differed from the “engineering hat” decision which Allan McDonald arrived at, despite Allen spending the prior 18 months trying to sell a new composite graphite ‘Filament Wound Case’ booster to the Air Force, for the DoD Shuttle launches, to be tested at Vandenberg that April 1986 and would have provided for an additional 5,000lb of DoD payload such as the anticipated Centaur-G shuttle payload. Allan had as much to lose business wise as his superiors Bob Lund and Jerry Mason with new Launch Commit Criteria or SRB re-design, but Allan fell on the correct ethical side of history.

They finally come out an 6 out of7 survival packs where activated...what killed them was the impact with the water...

all of them survived and you can see one of them parachuted

This was an American nightmare, a travesty that cost the lives of seven (7) brave Americans. These 7 had put their trust in NASA and all of the contractors who contributed in building the Space Shuttle. I was employed from 1974 until 1995 in the aerospace industry. I saw the pressures that these contractors and their employees were under trying to make schedules, meet budgets, remain a sole source for future contracts, dealing with their respective government and commercial customers, who were sometimes relentless in their demands. It is my strongest belief that no person nor entity desired the tragic results of January 28, 1986; however, there has to be a drastic modification in this whole process that would call for a single group or person, who had the final say about a "go" "no go" decision and that there only criteria would be SAFETY, PERIOD! This person or group would need to be independent and not have any reporting relationship to the contractor nor government agency!

I’ve just finished the challenger book and watching this puts the whole affair into context. Sad that NASA didn’t change much through to Columbia.

This is cool viewing

Thank you Professor Feynman. Your clarity of genius is sorely missed.

Interesting, only left and right rocket boosters have a parachute, but not astronauts 😢.

11:29 The flames appears on the right booster of the O-Ring.

I was a 15 year old grade 9 student in Yarmouth Nova Scotia. I had gone home for lunch because I lived close to the school. Most of my classmates ate their lunch at school, including teachers. I witnessed the horrific events live and then had to come back to school and tell my teacher and my classmates. My teacher thought I was lying. and she said to me, why would you make up such a horrible story? I don’t believe you you will have detention this afternoon after school I said, but Miss Bain I’m not lying the space shuttle challenger blew up and I just watched it and I kept repeating myself, finally she left the classroom, and apparently other teachers must’ve been talking about it in the teachers lounge. She eventually came back to class and apologized to me she had to deliver the news to my classmates as school started back after lunch break…….It was a horrible day for all…

❤😊

I never knew the water was for sound… I always assumed it was for smoke or somehow helped control the blast underneath the rocket

Nasa needs to fire everyone in power and put honest people in there positions

They lied when they told Americans there was nothing they could do to save columbia astronauts flat out lied !! There was 2 things they could of done but they didn't ask the air force to point there satellite to take pics of columbia was the 1st lie 2nd lie is they could of asked Russia to send up a soyuz to rescue them and this could also of been done cause I know cause my friends in Russia told me

Everyone of them liars just like those who lied about columbia disaster

So that means NASA rushed to Launch a shuttle and said in video that an incident happened due to an excitement?

Damascus must've scared the AF into reaffirming how to do things.

This is great to see! We lived in Satellite Beach, Florida from 1969 to 1971 when I was a kid in elementary school. I attended Spressard Holland Elementary School for my kindergarten and part of my 1st grade year. But my late father was actually stationed out at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, when it was called that, and we lived in the old Patrick Air Force Base old south housing units which are now torn down and replaced with newer housing. So my dad had to commute out to the Cape from Satellite Beach to go to work. What an awesome place that was to live. We walked to the beach from our house literally! That was a summertime paradise for a kid! I miss the old housing units we lived in.

A engineer told them not to launch due to cold weather. No one listened.

so this is the complex getting refurbished right now

37:00 This is Korea.... South Korea ㅠㅠ R.I.P

And just like that NASA murdered seven astronauts!

The shuttle was an expensive failure which killed 14 people on two separate disasters, Challenger and Columbia.
