It's amazing people can risk their lives for science.. Bless the people that will go into space in the future..and bless the people who died in the NASA rockets..astronauts are my heros.:( bless them
All!
@andyseaview According to CAIB (Columbia accident investigation board) crew (at least CDR and PLT) was aware of off-nominal events to some extent.They positively knew about landing gear mixed signals and hydraulics failure, PLT tried to restart the APU's and showed great knowledge of shuttle systems by engaging hydraulic pump No.2 in order to restore hydraulic pressure to control aerodynamic surfaces (ailerons).Very shortly after this decompression occured which rendered the crew unconscious.RIP
@julosx if they did that they would still have died because they were too high up to detach the shuttle the shuttle would have come crashing down :( its a big price to pay for space exploration but they knew the possibilities of them not returning its for all around strong people. emotionally. physically and more . i could never do it
@FactoryForFailuree I guess there was a possibility to abort the mission after take off by separating the rocket from the shuttle at one point before it reached a critical altitude. I may be wrong but the word is, again, the orbiter crew had never been told about it before it was too late.
@zer0dahero Not everybody in the world but a population, the subtle ploy of statistical analysis went over your head didn't it .Awwwww.
Well maybe instead of trolling you can explain why its a 'Stupid comarison [sic]"?
@TheFluffyDuck WOW... ten thumbs up? Thats like every one in the world to you I guess, and so, that makes anyone who feel differently to you in the "fringes of society." You thnking that 10 thumbs up means you are the absolute authority as the majority of the population? Your silly self validation tells anyone reading this that you really don't have a clue.
@zer0dahero Well I got ten thumbs up for the comment soooo I guess you're right, it would be very difficult for me to understand somebody on the fringes of society :P
A lot of NASA execs (esp. Linda Ham) should be sued and sent to prison after this crash. They knew from the early beginning (the foam debris hit the left wing 82 seconds after take-off) that there was critical damage caused to the orbiter but they consciously chose to overlook it and prevented anyone to warn the crew about the initial event and its predictible sequels.
@rightlydivide that ( light)even though it appears to be still, doesn;t look right to be sirius-venus-jupiter-saturn.....the usual bright night-time objects,but the problem is Columbia is already losing stuff way before it passes/encounters this second object.....so what is/is there any connection?
