The disaster by the foam broken wings is an error of tactics hasty moneymakers of the wreckage . In and r the green light should not be to go cause the transporter of the eagle is on foam test drive and not the real launch . Still once the carbonates of the wings are slots open so the rentry are doomed but the reentry can still be saved by the commander of flight which is off course of proficiency . Even the foamushy material cannot resist to the velocity of xmach of the flight pressure CX. No wonder our NASA commander of flight is so hyper Harvard cool ivy .. God said cause your biochemist are so lame in their precipitation of success of flight that even a basic fifth grade healthy won't do such lame idiocy of an admiral

An extremely interesting video with lots of rare information and anecdotes.

I know the ship was not able to dock with the space station, but couldn't they navigate get there and have them look at the wing? was anyone actually in the space station at that time? The other question is it's difficult for me to understand that at least one of the crew were not trained and able to do a space walk. Not necessarily to fix it but inspect it. Then as was noted, once they knew NASA could react. Just unfortunately complete ball drops by NASA management and design leads. It's always unfortunate that things get fixed after things happen, when if just a few more rules were applied for contingency, they would not need to wait due to cost cutting measures/arguments. Especially given the danger that is there to the human element.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this

Well your foam killed 7 innocent people so

Well your foam killed 7 innocent people so

Listen people anytime something hits the leading edge of a wing it's always a problem. God I hate these dam liars

People please don't let nasa keep lying to you all

I was just telling my girlfriend it makes me so sick to watch Nasa lie to American people. Just so you all know they could of been rescued . It's sad and sick you all have to hear this from a truck driver from Indiana. But I do know the truth because I have many good friends in Russia. If nasa would of asked Russia to send a soyuz up to rescue them they could of . But they didn't

Whose bright head thought of removing the black box from the newer models of Shuttle? Why??

Стали почесывать лоб- щёлк по шаттлу пеной щелку ведь розь Да понадеялись на русский авось..

1. The astronauts couldn't do a space walk to check on the damaged wing, because they didn't have the right spacesuits to do that. And they didn't have the tether. 2. The wreckage showed that the damage was a large hole on the aluminum port wing and not on the tiles under the wing. The astronauts didn't have the materials to repair that. 2. Moving the military satellite to the correct orbit to take a photo would have cost millions of dollars. And having a photo wouldn't help, because the astronauts didn't have the materials to repair a large hole in the aluminum part of the wing. 4. Preparing a rescue shuttle would have taken a month. By that time the astronauts would be out of oxygen. 5. The space station was on another orbit. It would have taken more fuel than Columbia had left to reach the space station.

Is NASA finally at the REALIZATION that Lifepods are essential equipment to Space Flight? As in a Life Pod an astronaut may escape into, it seperates from a compremised spacecraft, remains safely in orbit until a secondary spacecraft collects it. Bringing astronaut ( s ) home safely. May it be a single pod per astronaut or a single group pod for multiple astronauts.

"The TRUTH will set you free, but first it will piss you off" - Gloria Steinem The quote: The truth will set you free originates from John 8:32 Holy Bible, then utilized by Gloria Steinem a radical feminist from the 1960's with the identical ideology as the new LGBTQ+ ideology. ✌PEACE ✌

30:50 Actually when it broke free, wouldn't the shuttle have drove into it? That's the only way it would make sense to be going over 500 mph. You can actually see the piece fly prograde for a moment and then the shuttle driving into it. So let's figure this out; The Shuttle was traveling at a speed of about 1,570 mph (2,525 km/h) when the foam broke away, and that speed would have been the initial "upward" velocity of the foam. Even so, the material would have had a relatively small forward momentum due to its low weight. As a result, the upward motion was rapidly decelerated by the high speed airflow impacting against the foam. The FOAM was already traveling 1,570 miles per hour - it did not accelerate from 0 - this gentleman is WRONG and if this is the people they have operating these missions I can't imagine why it crashed. 41:30 Also whoever compiled this presentation actually should be working the first window at a fast food restaurant. Nothing is in order - they are trying to backtrack information etc. Once again, this whole video seems to be a broader explanation of how this company is ran which is literally into the ground.

Don't believe anything that's on your lying T.V.sets.

NASA is to blame for both shuttle losses.challenger was to cold. Columbia. They had a spy satellite.

Does the unedited video from the microcassette [49:00] show the shuttle break-up from inside ?

According to a documentary I just watched the mission could have been extended to 30 days to alllow for the launch of Atlantis - and the potential rescue of the astronauts. Life is cheap I guess, at NASA.

But what kind of pain would the astronauts have felt in that 5-7 seconds of lucidity before passing out? I can’t imagine hitting the atmosphere going Mach 25

Audio shows up at 14:20

And now Adolf Putin executed this man for the total failure Russian fascist lunar toy rocket.

The higher ups at NASA decided NOT to have satellites (which were offered) examine the site of the foam strike in orbt, and that is why the extent of the problem wasn't known until Columbia broke up on reentry. It was another instance of the big bosses sticking their heads in the sand, and to hear this guy lie like this at the outset is infuriating. Not watching the rest.

Can you please bring me a to the college school after I finish high School

People, please people... stop with this nonsense of a "rescue". There was no rescue. As put in the words of Nasa Astronaut Scott Altman, the moment the foam struck the orbiter, columbia and the crew was doomed. The inclination was different from the Iss at 39 degrees, therefore it was not possible to reach the station or for a soyuzz to reach them since the orbiter did not have a docking mechanism. As far as a shuttle rescue of Atlantis, the timing was not sufficient for this as some Nasa engineers were concerned of potentially losing another crew and shuttle due to the same problem which Nasa had failed to ractify from the very beginning. Very sad all these training and waiting this crew sts 107 went through only to end in tragedy and destruction. The fact is nasa new of this ongoing problem and became overconfident. These testings had to be done the monent they all new these foams were becoming lose during ascent. Period!! hope Nasa gives me free tickets to visit ksc for this detailed and factual argument!

I don't like how he's trying to compare the incident 2 Challenger Challenger they were warned multiple times by Engineers not to Launch because it was too cold they actually we're told by the engineers that it would explode and they didn't listen one was a mistake one was human error could have been prevented if they just listened but they had the news and everybody out there in the whole world was watching so they didn't want to stop it truly sad rip to all the loved ones lost 🙏

Lie to people , just Like the Government , Biden !!!##

Hats off to the interpreter. She must've been exhausted after such a long interview with tricky words

I am a layman amongst you, but I found Connolly's delivery to be disgustingly glib. I also bristled at his failure to mention the warnings about potential wing damage. And then I read he is to be the head of the manned mission to Mars

Congratulations Enzito, we love you.

We supplied tubing for the the space suits for cooling garments we Supply tubing for a science experiment that some kid that worked at at Kentucky Fried Chicken did they were going to incubate eggs in orbit during that time the fertilized eggs they eventually completed that mission on another space shuttle and all the chickens died after they hatched on Earth

The casual delivery with no level of empathy is troubling. Kinda matter of fact. Just sad 🙏…. 20:06

God those chairs are ugly

Shuttle Columbia - lost 9 souls - including the 2 hardly ever mentioned ground crew before it even launched due to a nitrogen purge. A true shame they are not mentioned like Apollo 1 astronauts who lost their lives. They deserve better.

Waste of time, money, and lives!!

They used comic sans in the presentation slides 😑

34:45 He might have done that-if there was any time for it.

32:10 The foam piece broke free at about 80 seconds…If I remember right, this was slightly farther into the flight than the point where Challenger broke up. it was the Orbiter, so it had maybe 6 to 7 minutes of burn time left, but they were already getting into much thinner atmosphere.

NASA let that crew die without telling them about the foam strike. They considered rescue options and decided to roll the dice without telling the crew and while keeping it secret from the public.

Everybody watching now??..🌞🦋😎💜😍🥰🍄💋🌹🖤

So the Columbia incident was a 'bad day'. I'd hate to see what their definition of a tragic day is. Edit: Dr Hamilton also said they weren't watching it on CNN like everyone else was. Omg.....they very well could've have seen the TV coverage. What, it never dawned on any of them to have cable and few tv's set up in the MC room? They could watch telemetry and camara footage simultaneously. Or was it they knew it had a good probably of having issues and didn't want to see it? NASA and our gov't, both, should be ashamed of themselves. We had the technology to save them, they chose not to. As my h.s. teacher used to say the day b4 a test or quiz....'if u fail to prepare, prepare to fail'.. I think this applies here, except failure ended in 7 deaths and not an F on a test/quiz.

If there was a satelite photos of the demage wing NASA has a problem. They where not prepered to send 2nd shuttle for rescue. So in this case it was a accident… no one gilty…

Disingenuous is a gift. I just finished watching an actual video inside mission control. One of these guys was at home, the other a Dr. Upstairs? I suppose that's their story. A lot is not true, the rest irrelevant. Go watch and learn the actual facts. They knew at take off, major problem. Crew was unaware. The choice was carry on and be doomed at reentry, or, about mission, they would not reenter, rather, eventually, run out of oxygen in space. The decision was made to do the former. The good news, minutes before reentry, the last video was a lady raving, sooo excited about what they'd accomplished and so blessed to have been chosen for the experience. That was it. They passed quickly. Appoxia ? Change of pressure too fast, they knew nothing. You'll see from lift off, command ctr , they knew. Foam had always been an issue, Columbia was 21 yrs. They gambled. Staff was on pins and needles from beginning of reentry. All held their breath the entire time. Everybody knew. You'll find positive data responses, did not sound positive. After take off and the knowledge, mission control made the right decision. This comment about a second shuttle to send up. In your dreams. Yet, here they say, they encouraged no photos? Photos would prove the damage, foam had been a problem numerous times. Challenger lifted off because of too many delays, Ditto for Columbia. Columbia's done numerous flights when it should have been replaced/retired. Uh, oh, change in body language on stage, when Nasa employee makes statement . So they talk about food? As these deviants are being normalized? Meaning sufficiently safe, for YOUR family to fly on? This fiction is insulting.

Can't watch this because the guy lies straight away saying they didn't know until after the accident that something could be wrong. They knew within 18 hours of launch. One day there will be a real documentary about this by NASA and not what we get here which is total BS

Search and recovery, not search and rescue.

Very strange show, especially by the Canadian who more so loved to talk about himself and how important he is to NASA but not about what could have done to save the crew if everyone had done their job right from the get go.

1.06.42. Got to me. The guys who do this make no mistake are the smartest people on the planet. Webb will look back in time and tell us things about our Universe but the guys who go into space are on another level of bravery. RIP

59:40 .... WTF? They couldn't be released without security clearance? Had to be medicated? Medicated for sadness? Huh? OK. But why couldn't they just leave on their own will? I'm confused. Security??

What a joke Fix the problem or don’t fly Poor crew

7 people died. Yea, we had a bad day. 🙄
