Ай бұрын

One of NASA's most tragic moments-the Challenger disaster of 1986. In this emotional documentary, we pay homage to the brave souls who embarked on a journey to explore the cosmos, only to meet an untimely fate.
From the inspiring dreams of teacher Christa McAuliffe to the dedication of each astronaut aboard, we unravel the personal stories and sacrifices that underscored their mission. Witness the gripping account of how a failed O-ring shattered not just a spacecraft, but the hopes and dreams of a nation.
But this isn't just a tale of technical failure; it's a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. We explore the profound impact of the Challenger disaster on families, communities, and the collective consciousness of America. Through interviews and archival footage, we bring to light the real people behind the headlines, reminding us of their enduring legacy.

I was friends with Christa's daughter, Caroline. We also worked together as teachers. Caroline is kind and thoughtful..and patient w children...she loved a good pizza and would smile and laugh but always had a palpable melancholic sadness just under the surface. Eventually, I left teaching to pursue my nursing degree and we spoke less and less until eventually losing contact all together. My heart always hurt for her. I still think of her often. ❤

I remember the entire school gathering together to watch it. I was also in the fourth grade. I still dreamed of being an astronaut and that summer I went to space camp. I was raised to let adversity be my motivator. It was a sad day but hopefully a lot was learned and improved upon. Reagan's speech was historical and Godly.

We all remember where we were when Challenger exploded (those of us old enough to remember it, anyway!) It was one of the most shocking things we'd ever seen - until 9/11 happened, that is. Who can forget the bewildered faces of Christa McAuliffe's parents as they watched explosion like they couldn't even comprehend what had just happened. And President Reagan quoting the poem: "[They have] slipped the surly bonds of Earth to touch the face of God." Going on forty years and I still remember it like it was yesterday.

I was a college student on my way to classes that morning. I'd seen the TV news the night before showing the icicles on the shuttle. I knew it wasn't wise to launch in those bad weather conditions. I believe it was human hubris that cost the lives of the seven astonauts. By the time I got to the campus, all classes were canceled and the cafeteria was full of students watching the televisions in stunned silence.

Just starting this video so maybe it’s in THIS doc, but I remember her mother in an interview talking about after the crew had boarded the shuttle. Her dad said to her mom, “if I could go in and take her out of that thing, I would” That absolutely broke my heart, just devastating to hear… good parents are protective of their kids and he felt the need to protect his daughter, he knew he couldn’t… and then watched the explosion minutes later.

I was 8 years old and very confused. They didn’t explain what happened right away. They just talked about it the next day and my parents talked about it. I just remember spending the week talking about space and being excited to watch the teacher and then the rest was kinda brushed over.

Unbelievable that the NASA decision team simply would not consider delaying the launch unless the engineer's could guarantee that there would be catastrophic failure. They ignored the recommendations. What ever happened to the thought of erring on the side of caution? Especially with seven lives at risk.

From a mass media perspective, this is an interesting pre-cursor to the 9/11 attacks. Everyone in schools organized to watch what became a disaster. Before most people had cable TV and in a time without the internet.

Why? Why did NASA take a chance when they knew that there could be problems? 2. Why did nasa allow engineers to overly complicate the design?

@stellarwind1946 Ай бұрын

There will always be a risk of catastrophe when you leave the surface of the earth in a rocket. Furthermore, there is no uncomplicated way of designing such a spacecraft.

In 20 minutes, tehy say "Paolo Nespolie flew the shuttle in 2007" three times. Is the viewer really this dumb? I also love how they don't say anyone's name, who were at fault, yet it's pretty clear who those people were.
