NASA had the time and resources to send a save mission to the space shuttle and knew the shuttle was damaged on liftoff you seen the foam hit the left wing and new they wouldn't make it back either that damage but made them return anyway.. losing the crew and shuttle..

As the craft is burning up in the atmosphere they are all still telling each things like, blah blah blah 'is not bad' or 'were still showing normal' blah blah blah. By that time addressing any dellusions was already too late, but it just speaks of the deep ingrained dellusion that is baked in.

NASA management transferred, keeping their nice salaries and 401k plans.... must be nice.

SO, they tripulantes está thy worst parte of thy fuit....God....

They were seconds away from being past qM and the crew would have had some options. Damn dark day.

I think it's a murder because Columbia never kwown the left wing was probably broken, this wing killed them, R.I.P.

On a road trip to Las Vegas, listening to NPR. Realizing things were not good. Painful to remember the brave who realized they were doomed sooner than we did.

Heartbreaking

At 1:25 upper right of the window begins to change from orange to white then camera cuts

I just realized something, just after the commander said roger uh bu- you can hear what sounds like the vehicle breaking up in the radio broadcast, at the exact moment the oms module is torn off

That last comms check :( they knew already

The uploader of the video - Munley, jewish deceiver surname. Same as "Naša", aka deceit in Hebrew

that just gave that footage a whole new perspective... that was pure terror...

So whatever video the crew got was live for NASA to record,and that's how we're able to see it? they didn't like find it out in a field or some sh** along with the helmet?

We were living in a dorm at University of Massachusetts watching this mission on NASA TV. They tested a new design of power screwdriver/ drill on that mission. It was supposed to be for using in space without az much kick. After being glued to NASA TV watching this crew in space, it was chilling when we saw on the news in a restaurant the report that this same mission we were watching in late January 2003 had burned up in reentry!

this is truly incredible editing work!

THANK GOD FOR ELON MUSK AND SPACE X...say good-by to NASA....dont need them, you have outlived your usefulness...Imagine the cost savings

i could see debris from this tragedy from lewisville tx

So close but just could not hold together long enough.

This was very well put together.

What kind of idiot puts a mini face pic of himself in a tragic loss of life video like this, exactly whats wrong with youtube

I absolutely agree so very sad.

The flight director absolutely knew there might be a problem with this re-entry, his demeanour showed this.

Complicated machine with lots of components, likely to fail at some point. The successful landings were very graceful and beautiful to watch.

Rather disgusting detail: around 38% of the shuttle was recovered to my knowledge. A lot of that came from eBay, where within hours of the tragedy people were selling bits of the shuttle that had fallen in their backyard. Some of my family members had to track those people down.

Imagine driving down the highway if you could at 16,000 miles an hour and then you open your driver's window and stick your hand out like we all used to do as a kid at 55 mph

Two in the outboard and one on the inboard.. okay I got you.. and what side of the shuttle was struck by the foam again? I think you know which side Sir

He did indeed fly safe.

This cost NASA (i.e. the tax payer) $26 million in the settlement that followed. Nobody went to prison.

nice

nice

Scott hanging out his cockpit window to record this yelling, “HUUUUULLLOOOOOOOOOO” to the world below.

i was tripping on amt when this happened

It's an absolute disgrace that NASA let these people die. They could of temporarily docked at the ISS and been brought back later by capsules, Atlantis, Endeavour or Discovery.

May I use this video in a presentation I am doing to an amateur radio club...? I assume it is NASA copyright and therefore free to use for educational purposes...?

Is this just the same footage as the show on CNN program final fight..

11:10 "Feeling the heat..." 😢

Watching this as engineering reading the status updates is very creepy. Surprising that the guys on the displays kept their cool.

It is fascinating that in XXI Century we still have no other way of landing a spacecraft except in a form of the meteor burning through the atmosphere. Very, very dangerous method indeed. Until now we should have invented some form of anti-Gravity drive.

Could they have done a spacewalk, gone to the side of the cargo bay, and looked over the edge at the wing? I know there are hand holds along the cargo bay doors.

it was shot down by aliens

As soon as they said the failing sensors were in the left wing their blood must have ran cold since they knew that was where the foam strike was.

NASA needs to be disbanded for the sheer incompetence of this accident and what they are letting happen to the people trapped in the upper most atmoshpere today and also for lying about landing on the moon

NASA knew it was damaged.

It kinda reminds me of the end of Apollo 13. Where it explains re-entry, they can either skip off of the atmosphere if too shallow, or burn up if too steep. They disintegrated here... "Burned up" just goes to show what could've happened to Apollo 13. Or how dangerous re-entry can be.

There was no commentary during the launch of space shuttle discovery on STS 114

Great work here, what a bummer

I was walking in the parking lot of my job at walmart that morning and saw this happen in front of me. 2 years later I was holding pieces of the Columbia tiles in my hands at my new job at the Johnson Space center. It was eerie.

"Houston?" "You've always got a problem"
