    It was April 19, 1971. The Soviet Union had just launched the world’s first space station into low Earth orbit, named Salyut-1 [Sal-yoot]. Two months later, on June 6, 1971, the Soyuz 11 [Soy-ooz] would make a trip to the orbiting space station with cosmonauts Georgi Dobrovolski,[Ghee-ohr-ghee Dough-bro-vole-skee] Vladislav Volkov [Vol-cove], and Viktor Patsayev [Pat-sigh-yev] aboard the spacecraft. The Soyuz 11 launched into space, and the three cosmonauts boarded the Salyut-1 space station on June 7, 1971, without any trouble, and were there to carry out three weeks of experiments, such as growing Chinese cabbage and bulb onions, taking spectrograms of stars, and snapping some ‘from orbit’ photos of the snow and ice on the River Volga. They were now heroes, famous, and plastered all over Soviet evening television. On June 29th, 1971, with the cosmonaut's primary mission complete, the Soyuz 11 finally undocked from the Salyut-1, and three hours later, the spacemen fired their ship’s engine to return to Earth. Vladislav Volkov joked with flight control and asked them to make sure their traditional welcome-home gift of cognac would be waiting for them at the landing site.
    At twenty-nine minutes before touchdown, and at an altitude of 160 kilometers [100 miles], explosive charges fired as planned to separate the Soyuz 11’s orbital bell-shaped capsule and instrument modules. The space capsule was now the cosmonaut's only defense against the fiery furnace of re-entry.
    But then something unexpected happened…

      Ofcourse I remember the Challenger disaster. The o-rings froze and the flame pierced the fueltank; hubris I'm afraid. I certainly remember Columbia, part of the re-entry tiles had been damaged by foam on lift-off.

    The Columbia disaster on 1 February 2003 was the 113th space shuttle mission. The last mission was the 135th, an Atlantis mission, on 8 July 2011, more than eight years later.

      Yes, I, too, understood the voiceover in the video making the incorrect statement that Columbia was the last shuttle flight.
      The amount of inaccurate/incorrect information in RUclips‘s comment sections(And, in this example and others, its video content) is indicative of the increasing ignorance of the general public and one of many causes of media proliferation of misunderstanding of what should be shared general knowledge. When will people begin to realize that their opinions are NOT facts and that the understanding of subject matter often requires hard work, extensive study, and attention to detail? Unfortunately, I expect the Dunning Kruger effect to continue to expand rather than decrease amongst our population.

    My oldest brother was career Air Force from about 1953 through approximately 1983.He worked mainly in air traffic control One year he was sent on a remote tour (family members could not go) to Iceland. When his tour of duty was up and he came back to the US, he described how, in the early 70's they picked up distress signals from Russian Cosmonauts quite often. They were sent into space, and for unknown reasons, (mechanical failures?) Russian ground control could not bring them back to earth. Their Cosmonauts orbiting earth were pleading for help from anyone until their oxygen ran out, and they died. The US didn't have the capability nor the technology to launch anything that could rescue them. The US had just put men on the moon on July 20, 1969.

It seems to have been a folklore of the spook profession, to rattle the newbies. After the collapse of the USSR and the mass opening up of internal documents and personal diaries, it became verified that none of the stories were accurate.

Although the ill-fated Columbia mission was "STA 107", it was actually the 113th space shuttle mission, and this launch was followed by 22 additional space shuttle launches. The last one being Space Shuttle Atlantis STS 135, the 135th mission on 8 July 2011. Hats off to all the astronauts and their families as space travel is truly a very dangerous endeavor.

They did NOT tell the crew though because they knew that death was gonna be pretty instantaneous so you have a valid point. I would have told them though and in fact I would have told john q as well. the real problem here was lousy design from the getgo. that orbiter was under maximum dynamic for WAY TOO LONG! Why? Size matters. Example. from deorbit burn to touchdown under Apollo was 11 minutes. For STS it was over an HOUR! Size matters. The more mass the longer it takes. The other solution is to NOT use CHEMICAL rockets! sure just keep "burning" (via something that we have NOT invented). that way you do NOT drop like a rock! yep just like here on the surface kinetics matters.
      we also don't have anything to counteract plasma build (heat is thus transferred directly to the body causing friction to begin with). yeah we got some serious issues that need to be resolved BEFORE we go exploring in space. why? because its a very nasty place for organics to be venturing into.

Luckily I escaped the room to outside and had oxygen when the ambulance arrived. I expect suffocating with no air to be a similar experience. Funny enough I was watching a documentary on Netflix last month about how WW1 was started and they talked about how phosphine gas was a new weapon used as a way to kill hundreds/thousands of men and horses in the Baltic wars first in the 19th century and WW1 later on bringing chemical weapons as a new way to fight wars.

Same type of shit happened years later regarding the foam insulation for the fuel tank. hey were warned not to switch from the older tried and true formula to the new environmental friendly formula.

      The whole disaster was caused by politics.

That meant the boosters had to be made in smaller sections so the sections would fit on a railway car for transport to Florida.
      Also there was huge political pressure to launch that day, when it should have been postponed until warmer weather.

    I always felt bad for the engineers who tried to stop or delay the launch of Challenger but pressure from above overruled their concerns. Some claim that this pressure went all the way to Reagan.

      The Shuttle's flight rules stated "In no case was the space shuttle to be launched if the temperature was 35 °F (2 °C) degrees or colder". After looking at solid boosters that flew previously, and seeing problems with the o-rings, Morton-Thiokol made a "recommendation" of no launch below 53 degrees F. (This is the "recommendation" that was waived by Thiokol on the morning
      of the launch). Flight STS-8 (Challenger) burned the o-ring bad enough that it would have run only a few more seconds before burning through like STS-51. It was close.

    The reason the cosmonauts in the Soyuz did not wear space suits, as previous crews had, was so three of them could be crammed into a two-cosmonaut area. At the time, both the U.S. and USSR were in a race involving who could do the most, and in this case the Soviets wanted to be first with the number of crew members. A larger ship wasn't available yet, so they took a chance using the two-man Soyuz. Three brave men paid the price.

      You are as ill informed as this Tuber. There were 4 Soyuz 3 man missions and 8 Apollo 3 man missions before the Soyuz 11 flight. There wasn't a "larger ship" being designed. Get your facts straight before you flap your mouth.

      @@gordonbergslien30 Yes; the Voskhod missions were actually flown in Vostok capsules with the ejection seat removed, and couches placed in sideways. For the Voskhod 1 flight, the three cosmonauts didn't wear spacesuits, and there was no escape system. for Voskhod 2, the two cosmonauts did wear spacesuits, and one of the couches was removed to make way for the airlock to allow Alexei Leonov to exit the craft without having to depressurize it. Neither flight had any sort of escape system. The reason the first Soyuz cosmonauts didn't wear spacesuit was because the designers thought they were redundant, that a shirtsleeves environment would be sufficient, and if there any spacewalks to be made, they could use the orbital module for a combination staging area to don/doff the spacesuits, and as an airlock.

    It's so sad to learn that one miner human mistake can cause many lives. So space travel is not easy as we think, reaching space is one thing but traveling in space is another problem humanity face. Space is not as empty as we think, there are many dangerous things that can kill us or any organics, for example sunlight; it's not just light but also contains high energy particles that can kill. We are smart but not smart enough yet to travel in space.

      @@princeofcupspoc9073 eeeh some people make us believe the trip to Mars will be an easy ride for example, I think about Elon Musk, and many, many science documentaries speaking about the "colonization of Mars" or space travel in general. They nee to sell their programs so many people want to make us believe humanity has mastered space travel already.

    This is the first I've become aware of these Cosmonauts losing their lives. Granted I was 11 back then but had watched the US space launches since I was nine years old. I wonder if there was much coverage on US television of this incident.

    6:25 It is technically incorrect to say that the shuttle 'exploded'. Explosion is what one would expect if the evaporating hydrogen caught fire. Instead the cryogenic liquids escaping quickly, after aerodynamic forces disrupted the cryogenic tank, created a mist of frozen gases and ice crystals, giving the impression of an explosion. Also, we now now that the the crew module wasn't destroyed instantly but fell to the ocean at a velocity no one could have survived. The SRBs also did not explode but veered away after the disruption of the main vehicle and you can see that in the video.

    I remember seeing the Space Shuttle Columbia exploding. It was horrible. It's something you never forget. I can't begin to know what the families of these astronauts were going through. It was a terrible loss. I'm just glad that they didn't suffer when they died. And the Space Shuttle Challenger. What a horrible loss.

      Unfortunately, it didn't explode - it broke up. And we can't say they didn't suffer - though we can hope unconsciousness came quickly. Sorry to be a Debbie Downer on a Sunday.
