    I went to the exhibit last year when I flew to Florida for vacation last year in 2017. I was almost brought to tears walking around reading the stories of the crew. As someone who has been fascinated with everything space related since he was a child, that walk through the exhibit motivated me a lot more than ever before to really focus more on engineering in school so I can ensure the safety of future astronauts.

When I saw the windows of Colombia it took my breath away. I am not an overly religious or spiritual person but when I stood by myself in that room looking at those windows it made me think of angel wings. I was moved to tears.

I certainly understand the desire to avoid exploiting the memories of those we lost, and I stand by that, but I think it would be appropriate to be sure that the memory of those who willingly accepted those risks, and died for the betterment of mankind be kept alive, and that they never be forgotten.

    I have mixed feelings about this. When the Apollo 1 accident happened, NASA said it had learned lessons and that poor safety culture would never again be the reason for such a loss. Yet management pushed ahead with the Challenger launch, despite clear warnings from engineers that they would all die if they didn’t postpone it. Criminal negligence for which people should have gone to jail. So whilst I’d love to visit the exhibit and pay my respects and admiration, it serves as a reminder that the person who killed them all got to continue their life with no repercussions.

    So glad this exhibit has been added to the Smithsonian. I worked at KSC and experienced both tragic disasters. We should not forget, nor should we ever forget the dreams these American heroes believed in. We cheered them, believed in them and loved them. They knew it was risky business, we all knew it was risky. In spite of the horrible reality of these failures, we learned how to be smart again. They did not die in vain. There were few of the 10,000 workers supporting the Space Shuttle that wouldn't have volunteered to be on the next one out.

      Yeah, but also should remember that it was company who made the boosters and being pushed into doing a launch where there was no knowledge of flying at such low temperatures and also the 7 years of issues they had with the boosters and how some test would be fine and other boosters would have errosion in the first ring and part of the 2nd one, to say that the people lost on that shuttle mission should be remembered as big reminders on following engineers rather then managers wanting to go for that launch. In reality honestly the shuttle system shouldn't have been made without a escape method, that honestly was the one design flaw that really made that shuttle design very bad in my opinion.

    I WAS HOME WATCHING THE TV. I WAS SO SHOCKED IT TOOK ME A BIT TO REALIZE MY PHONE WAS RINGING. MY BOSS DIDN'T HAVE TO ASK ME IF I SAW "IT." HER NEXT WORDS SHOCKED ME. She gave ME the shift off with pay. When I asked if we were all off she shocked me even more. Everyone else was coming in. If that wasn't shocking enough when I asked why I had off with pay her next words touched me in a place even science cannot identify. She knew how I was going to need the time to process what I'd just seen "...because I know how much the Air Force, flying AND what the Shuttle means to you. You have my condolences."
    The Families and friends of the Shuttle's Crew had and will ALWAYS HAVE MINE. SEMPER.
    RIP

    The foam strike was disconcerting to some engineers who reviewed the launch, but it fell on deaf ears. For all their brilliance, they didn’t realize that so much damage could be done by foam traveling at high velocity. I blame NASA for both disasters, in Challenger’s case at least, the blame is irrefutable.

    • @loganbaileysfunwithtrains606
      @loganbaileysfunwithtrains606 Год назад

      It’s almost like the engineers know what they are talking about or something. Had an engineer been the flight director for Columbia they likely would’ve performed the only abort return to launch site or aborted it to Spain saving the crew, but engineers don’t become flight directors, management desk pilots do

    I don't understand why their destruction isn't part of the memorial. This is like saying forget about the iceberg and we'll just remember Titanic as she slipped her moorings.

    One can never bury the past, and our history has to be narrated/demonstrated so that present and future generations can FEEL the courage and the tragic sacrifice of these brave Americans. In England, the Victoria and Albert Museum never changed its walls and areas where the Luftwaffe bombs had left sizable damaged gashes and shrapnel related scarring. In a similar way, we too must remember all our history. Removing exhibits, changing textbooks, and eliminating statues is not acceptable for a brave and pioneering nation such as ours. May God Bless the souls of the astronauts who perished and may their families always have peace and feel the respect of their fellow Americans.

      The piece is from the left side, with the nose pointing up. It is shown as it would appear when the shuttle was ascending. A 180° rotation would put the union at the bottom. That is never correct.
