Thank you preserving this video, it's amazing to see how things have changed since then. I was a space loving second grader at that point and my mom was an elementary school teacher, so that launch seemed like the most momentous thing yet in my life; so excited... I'll never forget my teacher abruptly turning off the tv and trying to explain in a comforting way that things don't always go as planned; teachers really deserve more pay, then and now.💙🖤

I still do not know how the good anchors and presenters are so able to hold back the emotions you know they have. Admittedly this is from a different era of news, When a nation could look to the news for a sense of stability in hard or complex situation. And the presenters had to remain that stable pillar of normalcy even when the world veered away from normal.
@joerouse79085 ай бұрын
9/11 was really the last time where you had the big 3 anchors providing that sense of stability as best as they could. But it clearly took a toll on them. Peter Jennings took up smoking which cost him his life 4 years later. Dan Rather broke down twice on his appearance on David Letterman the following week. Tom Brokaw didn’t have any sort of public breakdown but I seem to recall reading that he broke down in private after he left the anchor chair that first day.

Alex Roland is set up to be the villain among the guests with his skeptical take on the effectiveness of manned space flight, but time has proved that he was absolutely correct. The space shuttle was a colossal waste of money and resources that never came remotely close to delivering on its potential, and it was also run in a slipshod fashion that directly caused the deaths of two crews of astronauts.
@YorkVid8 жыл бұрын
+epaddon He was on a mid-90's Discovery Channel documentary on the Shuttle program basically saying the same thing, as I recall. By then, it was clear that his viewpoint was right and this wasn't going to live up to its initial expectations.

Manned spaceflight is a funny thing. It's like a nuclear program, except colossally harder and more expensive. The fragile human crew is like eggshells vs. a nice sturdy bomb that can take 100g and doesn't need oxygen or warmth. Plus, you gotta haul the payload BACK to where it started from, intact, at the end of the flight. A single fully-functional nuclear device has somewhere around 26,500 discrete parts (so 50-60x more than your car). The Space Shuttle launch vehicle had 2.5 million parts, of which 1.1 million were considered "critical", as in their failure would probably destroy or cripple the vehicle (depending on when it occurred and to what degree). The Shuttle was vastly more technically complicated than Apollo but nobody saw them as "exploring" anything new with the Shuttle so it never had the brainpower, funding, public interest, legislative support or institutional morale that the moon missions did. Full stop. A program that ends with a 1 in 3 catastrophic failure rate for the airframes is not a good program. The "Failure is not an option" days at NASA were definitely over by then.

I disagree with the very premises. We can spend Godzillions amount of money exploring space,yes I get it,I get excited too but we have all these super bright people yet we STILL dont have an engine that gets more than 40%+ fuel efficiency OR not run on fossil fuels at all. We can pull together the best minds together to create a bomb that can kill millions as in the Manhattan Project but we cant do the same to invent a clean engine to clean up our air? Especially in California where the mountains trap the auto pollution over LA?

I had been going to the track every day in NY beginning a week earlier and had just won a month's bills when I slept late on Tuesday, since there was no racing. I wake up to see the expoded ship on CNN and couldn't believe it. Reagan hatedit with they found the capsule because it ruined his "slipped the surly bonds of earth" line that sounded so heartfelt. It crashed. They might even have survived the impact.

@@BartAlder Very assumptive. Reagan brought this country out of, as Carter famously said, the "malaise" of the 70's. He more or less single-handedly saved America from the very dark fate we were headed toward. He did that not only economically, but also by reviving the country's morale. The 80's and 90's would have been MUCH different decades if not for Reagan. As to your beef, whether Iran-Contra can be laid at the feet of Reagan is highly debatable. And ultimately, it's no different than what John McCain, Hillary Clinton, and Obama did in terms of supplying weapons to terrorists (research Benghazi if you don't understand why) -- the only difference is that Reagan didn't sacrifice any Americans to cover his own ass, the way Clinton et al did.
