I think one of the worst things about any disaster is witnessing it live. I couldn't imagine, I'm thankful every day that I've never seen anything particularly horrible.

@vincewilkes Год назад

I remember being in school watching us lose the Columbia and it was so surreal like..how could we lose another one? The margin for error is so small in space flights and ocean dives.

@laurapeter3857 Год назад

I think that was the worst part about this for much of the country - we watched it live. It was broadcast in schools and then rebroadcast over and over on the news. And when the news came out later about how the engineers tried to stop the launch, it really shook our trust in NASA and big business.

@davidvanhorn3340 Год назад

For years, I felt a sense of (irrational) guilt, because it was the first launch I didn't watch live, since the early days of Gemini. There was that nagging little voice in the back of my head, "If you'd been watching, it wouldn't have happened"

I was living in Texas when the Columbia Space Shuttle exploded in 2003. I was a kid at the time, so I only remember a very loud bang that I wasn't sure I heard or dreamt. It wasn't until news of debris found nearby that I realized it was real. It may be redundant, but that is another moment in history you might be interested to learn more about.

@tannerhall-cs Год назад

There is at least a little consolation in that these failures of responsibility are taught at many universities and other institutions to ensure that these mistakes are still considered in the present. We must remember to keep our hubris in check.

@alysonmcdermott8290 Год назад

I was in fifth grade watching from outside my school in Orlando, Florida. We would watch many launches, so we knew something went wrong with one. I'll never forget that moment in the sky.😢

@majortom4543 Год назад

History doesnt repeat but it certainly echoes. What a great closing for videos.

@AmyAnnLand Год назад

This happened the year I was born. When I meet others born in the same year, I always say, "'86 was a great year! Except for the Challenger disaster. " It was such a tragedy, and I'll never forget the first time I saw the video. I was only a child, but I still felt immense sorrow for those lives lost. I cried, and I think it was the first time I realized that when people die, they don't come back (I was a child, so this was profound for me at the time). Despite that, I so badly wanted to travel into space. At 37, I doubt that'll ever happen now, but this teacher has always been a hero to me.

The most ironic thing about the Challenger Accident is that we now have private citizens flying in space (Inspiration4, Axiom-1, Axiom-2, numerous trips with New Shepherd and Virgin Galactic and future flights with Axiom-3 and the Polaris flights starting with Polaris Dawn).

@ogjk Год назад

I love the Aussie perspective on our history, keep up the great work bro. Also my mom's best teacher friend in Texas was second in line for that mission if the original teacher didn't make it she had full training and everything, small world.

I was 5 years old and in second grade at a small town school. They gathered all of the elementary classes into the cafeteria and sat us on the floor. In front of us was a stage, which allowed the cafeteria to serve as a sudo-auditorium. On the stage was a big screen TV, televising the broadcast of the launch. We all watched in awe as the rocket took off and continued to climb. moments later, we all witnessed the explosion and the two smoke trails as the SRBs continued flying on their own. The teachers were speechless. We kids had little to no idea of what was going on. There was an eerie silence that permeated in the packed auditorium. The broadcast continued for a while and the teachers eventually shut the TV off and sent us all back to class. I went home later that day and recall seeing it all over the news broadcasts, replays of the shuttle breakup and official words that it was a disaster and there was loss of life involved. A pivotal moment in our lifetimes is the first time you remember world news and you remember where you are at the time that happened. For some people, it was the Kennedy assassination, for others, it might have been the 9/11 attacks. For me, it was the Challenger disaster, witnessing it live at my elementary school among my classmates.

@eherrmann01 Год назад

The shuttle was the most complicated machine we humans have ever built. It was also the one of the deadliest spacecraft ever built.

@JimMac23 2 месяца назад

The shuttle was an expensive failure that killed a total of 14 people. (Challenger and Columbia).

The most scary about this incident is the photo of an astronaut casket laying around on a field..

@richardkallio3868 24 дня назад

The problem was not that they attempted to put a teacher (civilian) in space; the problem was that they did so with more of a view to a timely launch than a safe one.

@davidvanhorn3340 Год назад

It wasn't "6 astronauts and Christa MaCauliffe", Christa did all the tests and training, she QUALIFIED, she WAS an astronaut.

@sarahshulman2086 3 месяца назад

when my dna related younger 😮brother is in 4th grade, I plan to give history about Christa mcauliffe to my dna related brother if I am able to see him at his first cousin’s birthday party in San Diego. I also plan to do a Spider-Man performance for my dna related brother if he did so well that same school year, I will do a spider man performance in June 2029 Luckily I was researching and learning about this fatal challenger mission years prior in early 2022.

@jeffreysalomone6354 Год назад

Its interesting to hear your take on the disaster. We may never know the extent that American politics played a role in pushing the launch that day. Much more likely, in my opinion, was the detachment between the NASA administrators and the engineers who were concerns about the effect of cold weather on the design. It is through failure that we learn to better engineer-- youve mentioned this concept regarding oceanliners-- disasters like the Titanic improved safety of other ships. I still remember than day, and how comforting President Reagan's words were. I think it was most likely the best speech of his Presidency.

@JimMac23 2 месяца назад

The teacher in space was Reagan's idea. And it killed the teacher. Yet another failure of his overrated presidency.

@Electriceye1984bySam Год назад

It wasn’t a pretty sight for the students😮

@chgr7025 Год назад

I was one of them. I remember every detail of it watching it live. Which is wild, because I have a bad case of CRS here lately! But I'm still a huge fan of the Shuttle program and of the efforts by Space X and the other programs currently under development!

@unscentednapalm8547 Год назад

@@chgr7025the shuttle was a waste of money death drap. 1.5% flight failure rate, 40% vehicle failure rate!!

@JimMac23 2 месяца назад

The space shuttle was an expensive failure. It was supposed to be a space delivery vehicle, but it seldom performed in this purpose.

@davidvanhorn3340 Год назад

19 years and 1 day after the Apollo 1 fire. Please, NASA, never try to launch on January 29th, ANY year.

@give_me_my_nick_back Год назад

How is it even legal to be a teacher while you are still only 22, like there is no way you could get 6our masters degree this young and in here a masters degree of any field is required to be a teacher in a public school and you need to have a bachelor degree or equivalent in the subjects you teach. Usually the teachers are expected to have finished at least 2 different degrees

@JimMac23 2 месяца назад

The Teacher in Space was a publicity stunt. It was Reagan's idea. And it took the life of the teacher.

@bubb5225 4 месяца назад

Reagan knew about the engineers wanting to hold off on the launch. But he ordered it anyway. All those kids sitting in classrooms waiting to watch it. Plus he wanted to phone Krista during his upcoming state of the union speech. Typical Reagan cornball p.r. move. People forget how right wing Reagan and his administration were. He didn’t like it that women in the workforce were starting to take jobs in which they competed with men and, occasionally, supervised men. One time he chided women saying, “Ladieeeeesssss,” meaning - women, stop taking men’s jobs! That will upset society too much! They could have picked a male teacher to go into space but did not. Part of what McAuliffe represented was women remaining in traditional female jobs, such as teacher. She was truly a Reagan role model without meaning to be. She had the bossiness of many teachers. Better bossing around kids than bossing around men, was the Reagan philosophy.

@JimMac23 2 месяца назад

The teacher in space was Reagan's idea. He bears a lot or responsibility for the teacher's death in the breakup of the shuttle. And because of the breakup he couldn't use it in his state of the union speech that night. How annoying for him. But his writers wrote a pretty speech for him to perform on television, and he read it, just like he read his lines during his third rate acting career in Hollywood.

@bebo4374 Год назад

I have read that photomagnatron particles beamed from a Brazilian island were responsible for this destruction. Does anyone have more information about this?
