    We had just got set up with cable so was able to watch the NASA feed. The silence after the explosion was so eerie. The silence seemed to connect to the shock. No one knew what to say. RIP brave astronauts whose lives were risk the gamble according to the NASA decision makers.

    The engineers told NASA not to launch because of the below freezing temperatures and the effect that would have on the o rings. NASA ignored them and launched anyway.

    This is a fascinating upload...the back and forth between mission control and ground crews, dealing with ice, the busted handle on the hatch and other problems. It's chilling and just gives you more time to feel the tension and gives me the feeling this flight was doomed from the get go. Of course, we have the benefit of hindsight.

    So many things could have been different. Something as simple had they launched on the first scheduled day and not had a scrubbed launch, things might not have turned out disastrous.
    The temperature was warmer and it wasn't as windy. They had three scrubbed launches. This costed NASA a lot of money and they were worried about launching on a weekend because there would be no school for Krista to teach from space to.
    It was pressure to launch on a day NASA knew was bad..

      Yeah it has been theorized that the wind sheer reopened the leak. The srbs had a filler that was used to prevent hot gas blowby.
      They think the onboard computers adjusting for the sudden wind gust caused just enough stress on the right SRB to open the gap causing blowby.
      Sadly a chain of bad events, cold, and windy..

      How do you know there wouldn't just be a huge wall of disbelief at you trying to tell them if they launch it'll be a disaster?
      You would appear like a nutcase and probably arrested. Even if you took magazines, newspapers and even launch footage to show those people capable of halting the launch.
      Their disbelief would lead them to think you fabricated the evidence..
      Not to mention you would drastically alter history, more than you could possibly calculate. People changed plans, sub events occurred, people made other choices in life. NASA even learned a valuable lesson.
      As tragic as this was, you might unleash even more tragedy trying to prevent it..

      @@krumplethemal8831that’s a fair set of points very similar to a few Twilight Zone episodes that pointed this out. The tragedy and disaster of this situation was foreseeable and was ignored. We know it because it has happened. It cannot be altered, and we cannot know the other possibilities of what if has it not happened. A fatal example of tombstone technology, a reoccurring pattern from the DC-10 to the space shuttle and now Boeing 737Max. Should these disasters never happen? Yes ideally, practically they will as long as humans are willing to disregard warnings, act from their ego and greed and unawareness, meaning failure can never be eliminated nor should it be.

    High Flight
    BY JOHN GILLESPIE MAGEE JR.
    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 ....
    Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
    I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
    Where never lark nor ever eagle flew-
    And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
    The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

      The waters off the Eastern Florida coast weren't particularly cold - ocean temps usually don't vary due to cold fronts, it's the LAND that gets cold - it was the sudden stop as the cabin holding the still alive astronauts slammed into the water at over 200 MPH that killed them, not the temperature... the water temp was the very least of the concern...
