The biggest human permanent error, IS to expect no errors from humans !

I remember this in the morning we felt like a small boom and the house shook

Congress threaten NASA if they kept delaying the shuttle, that they would cut funding for the space station. The republicans are bastards!.

NASA was being threaten by congress again the republicans. It was dirty politics that played into this tradegy and bad management.

The Challenger in January, 1986 is another one I will never forget, either. I barely spoke English then, but that was one situation that proved to me: 'a picture is worth a thousand words'

RIP

A sensory jet ejector system means our gov spending more money on the nasa program. Which would be impossible, because they are giving those millions to iraq and afganistan for reconstruction. its always the rest of the world before our own. sad but true.

I remember this, it woke me up out of bed, because my house shook.
-
I don't believe they ever found any bodies completely intact & I don't imagine they would.... Just body parts...
-
the NASA team on the ground didn't do their job properly. horrible management and decisions of people on the ground are to blame.
-
@seploud Yeah. I'm more than willing to sacrifice my life for a visit to space though...

@JoanCollins2009 I read that they found body parts. There is a vid on YouTube showing the Columbia shedding debris over Arizona, it didn't completely disintegrate until it was over Texas, so I would imagine there were pieces scattered for over hundreds of miles. Interestingly, I read there was some type of worms in a dish on the shuttle as an experiment, the dish was found and the worms survived, I think they were microscopic though.
