May the seven soul rest well in God hands along side with Apollo 1 and The Space Shuttle Challengers STS-51L

This happened exactly 13 years ago today, I remember waking up early to watch this. I miss the space shuttle program.

First coment in 8 years

I actually worked in building 900, few miles from Slc 4. I did the ballon launches there to get the upper level winds for the launches.

I wonder who recorded the video

2:30:27- 10 minutes remaining in the 30 minute hold

2:10:27- Start of 30 minute built-in hold at T- 4 minutes.

2:40:27- T- 4 minutes and counting

12:25 the words no Flight Director wants to say, not once. “Lock the doors.”

now i want to see what a spacex super heavy launch will look like at night

When you finally make 25 lines on level 9 high 5....

Many people within NASA knew there was a good possibility that the wing was damaged at liftoff. They knew that the result would be the loss of the orbiter. For those that were in the know, they had to know that their fears were coming true.

...the media originally complained to NASA that, at 2 miles away, they were too far away to effectively cover this launch; NASA engineers then built a row of three sheds about a half mile closer (next to the crawler refuling station up the LC39 crawlerway), but had all of them sign waivers regarding injury or death from being that close. The reason you can hear Walter on the background of the NBC tape is that they were next door to each other. The NASA engineers also didnt tell the media that the windows and ceilings were designed to be flexible to absorb the sound waves from being in that proximity to the launch; any closer than 1 mile would have been fatal. (Sound waves at 191+ dB.)

...spacex keeps launching satellites over my mom's house in Ponce Inlet.

For them to see how the vehicle was failing system by system and knowing there was nothing they could do about it must have been something that haunts them to this very day. What a horrible experience.

Esatto 🇺🇸🕳️ ti fa sbagliare apposta se butto qualche bomba💣 non farci caso Jhon Jhon

Mr. Langley what happened this is Daniel Robles

Einstein

What is the "Command System" that was still armed that they needed to safe? Sounds like an FTS. But why would they need that during a landing?

He was took from the iss to a et craft and told not to put modules in space ie ct weapon

I took my love, I took it down Climbed a mountain and I turned around And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills 'Til the (Linda) Ham-slide brought me down

13:47 closes the procedure book. No words.. its over.

TV-3BU

So haunting

Heartbreaking 😢

where the AC-203 launch broadcast?

no reason why they should have lost RIGHT main gear talkback unless the whole belly came apart. Every thing bad was happening on the left.

This happened when I was six years old. I remember me and my mother had gone to the store, and we were listening to the radio in the car as the news talked about Columbia's preparations to re-enter, and I was excited to get home and watch the re-entry and landing with my father on TV, or at the very least reruns of it, since he's also a space nerd like me. I got home and ran inside and he gently told me that the shuttle broke up on re-entry and was destroyed. I remember I started crying when I thought about all those cool astronauts who had died. Stuck with me for a long time after that.

Well, cronkite starship is now bigger!😊

Nasa idiots

So a high and tight haircut earns nobody a return flight home!

the gear sensor failure, that was it, that was the breakup. That was some of the last data that got transmitted from the shuttle.

Filmed: September 19, 1986

Cateonauts?😮

If you didn't know what was going on, this looked like a completely ordinary 20 minutes of traffic control footage.

I can't imagine how professional and brave you need to be in order to behave as the flight directos does.

Want to know what helpless looks like?

And those on the ISS knew EXACTLY what just happened....Imagine how they felt like WTF ! Like you all knew on the ground a Chunk fell off the Tank and HIT the Orbiter WING but during the entire WEEK Columbia is Docked you didn't think to take the CANADIAN ARM with it's built in CAMERA and check out the Orbiter??

MASUTA SUPAAAAAAAAAAKU

Kids Sing Praise: Out Of This World The Movie The second, last and final part of Kids Sing Praise Vol.1

This class of astronauts were in Mark Kelly’s class. Once the remains were found, he made sure that religious officials were able to view the remains and pray before removing them. Classy guy

The last video transmissions from the shuttle is eerie

This is so tragic. I watched both of these live. Horrific

There is no information from space command

I would like to see all the data

After hearing UHF Comm check that was it. Mad respect to the Flight Controller and RIP to the crew.

the way the main engine's boot up, tilts the whole thing foreword and when it bounces back the solid boosters go, crazy how this is all planned/anticipated

Atlantis on the 1987 movie Kids Sing Praise: Out Of This World The Movie Part 2.

"GC. Flight...........GC Flight.............Lock the doors". I would not liked to have been in that mans chair that day. He wept. I wept. They knew what was going on and were hoping for the best and powerless to do anything about it. I remember that morning and those words still haunt me.

2:37:27- Final status check
