Ronald McNair’s legacy has been somewhat overshadowed by Krista McAuliffe. Not to undermine Krista, but McNair is nothing short of a renaissance man, an incredibly accomplished scientist and intellectual. He deserves way more attention.
I wouldn't say it's been overshadowed. Christa McAuliffe brought much interest to this mission. That's why so many people remember it. Every school showed it live because of her.
13:18 Christa McAuliffe's excitement, and enthusiasm could just light up a room.. Her inner little girl was definately the Christa that was speaking at the podium. You couldn't wipe a smile off her face if you tried. What a wonderful teacher she must have been.
A million blessings in memory of Mr. Ronald McNair; a great scientist, skillful astronaut, and dare I say quite a sharp dresser! Hearing his voice in this video breaks my heart. May God continue to walk with his beautiful family.
My sister went to high school with his nephew. They say when the shuttle exploded, his name was called over the school PA and he was summoned to the office.
I like the way the NASA announcer kept his composure and stayed calm upon seeing the huge explosion. He didn't react immediately, and waited for a confirmation before making the announcement.
He must have thought oh shit how do we cover this bullshit now, I was party to the hoax but now it's blown up dose that mean we have to kill them, like in the movie Capricorn one?!!
Yeah, when I see the smiles on their faces, I think thats the hardest part for me, because they were so happy and excited for this mission. Just seeing that and knowing their fate is heartbreaking.
RIP Dick Scobee (1939-1986) Michael J. Smith (1945-1986) Ronald McNair (1950-1986) Ellison Onizuka (1946-1986) Judith Resnik (1949-1986) Gregory Jarvis (1944-1986) and Christa McAuliffe (1948-1986)
It was not an error! They did not listen to what they had been told regarding the O rings. They knew something could go wrong. they gambled with 7 lives and lost. That is not an error.
7:43 "Crew Compartment Trainer" followed by a wide shot of the crew comparment. For those that have watched analysis of the accident, this part was the only piece of the shuttle that was discernible after it broke a part and it was heartbreaking confirmation that they most likely survived the tank explosion.
I remember my 10th grade Spanish class watched the launch on TV. We just looked up at our teacher who began to cry. We were in disbelief to see the loss of the vehicle and crew.
That day a student aid ran into our classroom with a clipboard and informed our teacher what happened. She then preceded to slowly look up at us with the saddest eyes. She then began to tell us that the Challenger exploded, then my teacher began to cry. The whole classroom became silent and still, in shock. This news was so heartbreaking and unbelievable in my mind, such a sad devastating day.
All the survival training they went thru only to be blown from the sky due to terrible decisions by management. The Netflix documentary on this accident is very interesting and very well put together.
"roger go at throttle up" (crumple sounds) Its so sad hearing Christa talk about Columbia, us in the future knowing both her Challenger and Columbia were both destroyed losing all on board. No shuttle had ever failed at this point no one was even thinking about it, not realizing we would lose two of them before the program was retired. I wonder if the Challenger crew ever thought about how long the Space Shuttle would actually fly, if these two accidents hadnt happened I feel like we would still be using them. We never know what the future holds, make sure to always show your loved ones how much you care, you or I might be snatched away at anytime. RIP Challenger and Columbia crews.
Yeah possibly were mothballed because of issues related to keeping them serviceable. Probably was extensive although made them useful and also practical.
12:30 "I forgot the one thing I was supposed to do" You gotta love the look on Onizuka's face when he realizes he forgot to introduce McNair. Then again, it's also daunting watching how joyful they are knowing that none of them know the booster they'll be flying are faulty.
I wonder if any of them had a weird gut feeling something bad was going to happen, but they brushed it off and blamed it on nerves. I’m sure we’ve all experienced it before. That feeling we shouldn’t do something, that feeling we should maybe take a different route to work or home, to leave 5 minutes early etc. Never ignore your intuition. If something feels wrong, if you have a feeling a friend should walk you to your car after a party etc. listen to it! Listen to your instincts.
So true! I went on a boat ride last week and I had a horrible feeling about it beforehand -well I was right the boat nearly capsized the sea was so rough and I was sick for days afterward.
This was so very, very tragic putting it mildly. I remember my mom calling me to let me know what occurred . The crew was so excited. I was working for public schools as a custodian back then. I know a few teachers had ties to Christa. Just a reminder to live your life like there is no tomorrow ..No Guarantees...Sad, sad day for America.
I know that the back up teacher had to feel some type of way that she was training, but not going on the mission. I am sure on launch day she was sad to lose her friends but thankful at the same time. I am glad that at least she eventually got to go into space years later.
Yeah, Barbara Morgan is definitely a rockstar. In a strange twist of fate, due to the loss of Columbia, her mission was aboard Endeavour- the shuttle built as a replacement for Challenger, named by schoolchildren. " After the Challenger, NASA asked if I would continue on and serve-to carry on the work that Christa was doing-as “Teacher in Space designee”-and fly at some time in the near future. This was done on national TV, and I felt it was very important to continue on. Children all across the country were watching, and we needed to show our children what adults need to do when terrible things happen. We needed to make sure that what we are doing was worth it, and find out what went wrong, and more importantly what we did wrong, and we need to fix it and make it better." -Barbara Morgan, NASA's Oral History Project, 2011
@@zachos2 Really ?? Poor guy. I didn't know. It's awful ! There is some people so gentle having heart and in the same time you can join the worst of rot. That's our world, don't forget it.
that is such an ignorant comment, i can tell you about the other 6, Mike was a pilot in Vietnam Dick Judy Elison and Ron were all space veterans with at least one pre disaster mission each and Greg was a Hughes engineer he was a last minute inclusion for this mission
To this day it's still so sad to watch anything with the Challenger astronauts. That launch never should of went off that day. The deaths of those 7 heroes could of been avoided. Shame on NASA for launching that day. I was born in 88 and I live 30 mins NW of the Cape and I've watched tons of shuttle launches and always wanted to be an astronaut but I have always had some sort of hate for NASA since then. I understand there is alot that goes into launches and deadlines are a big deal but they should of listened to their engineers that day including Allan McDonald he told them something bad would happen if they launched. SpaceX should launch a teacher into space as a tribute to Christa McAuliffe
I think Ronald McNair was one of the coolest astronauts and this crew was such an amazing bunch. I was in elementary school during this and remember how sad it was.
Have you read Judy's bio... in Wikipedia???? OMG....she right up in there with Leo DaVinci, Timur, Alexander the Great, Atila the Hun, Ghengis Khan... no, no, no...she was better. that all of them....!!!! She was engineer in at least 4 different disciplines, had perfect scores in all all the SATs she ever took, she was a software developer, piano virtuousa, runner up homecoming queen, excellent pilot, wrote papers...had a PHD...had 2 jobs, a husband...and all that by the age of 35...UNBELIEVABLE..!! I wonder....how my hubby who is pretty darn smart, graduated SCL in Mathematics and Economics, took several courses in Game Theory, Statistics, etc etc, etc,..can not managed to feed the cats, clean the house, take the trash out, do the grocery shopping and do the laundry while he is coding his software app... 🤔 mmmm is a mystery!
@@orionstar6268 First part of the comment is okay, but the second part is completely irrelevant: Nobody cares about you or your husband, and he's not as smart as you think... xD
It's crazy to watch R. Regan speeching on my screen. I go back in the past and I'm 16. He was very feet for his old (1910 I guess). As Jim Davis and John Wayne, they were real actors western movies. All this time is gone with them.
I wasn’t even thought of when this happened but since I’m a space enthusiast I do know about this awful tragedy. Rest in peace to all seven of the crewmembers who lost their lives that day. If someone asked me if I could meet anyone famous is no longer living I would’ve love to meet Krista McAuliffe. I think she had a great personality and she seem like a genuinely nice person. We would’ve had the same interests and I would’ve asked her what it was like to actually launch to space and be selected as an astronaut and what her training was like. I would love to see another civilian selected in the future to go to space and live on the international space station and teach lessons in space like Krista McAuliffe had planned to do. Rest in peace Judy Resnick Ron McNair Greg Jarvis Mike Smith L Annazuka Dick Scobie and Krista McAuliffe.
@@JohnSmith-pb4ri yeah kinda ironic though that they 'luckily' are still alive when what they did was very shady to the public, if they were to be exposed or found out but i doubt it since no one would believe it
Yeah we all fell for it, hook, line and sinker! To think of all the people who were fooled, emotionally manipulated and left broken hearted over this supposed catastrophe! Well, they can stop feeling sad about the crew because six out of the seven are still alive and well, and very well indeed I might add! Check it out for yourself! Christa Mcauliffe is now Sharon A Mcauliffe (lawyer), Ellison Onizuka is now little brother Claude Onizuka, Ronald McNair is now identical twin Carl McNair (inspirational speaker), Richard Scobee is still Richard Scobee (CEO), Judith Resnik is still Judith Resnik (professor), Michael J Smith is still Michael J Smith (professor) and Gregory Jarvis (unknown). If there is anything sad about this event, it is this, that these people agreed to be a part of a world-wide deception and that NASA cannot be trusted.
That was such a great crew. Thanks to people like them our world might have a bright future. But what really killed them was selfish behavior of stupid managers. Money is the root of all evil.
Yes, part of it was that Part of it was also NASA's stupidity in insisting on a rigid adherence to a launch schedule. When told it was recommended that the launch not take place, NASA official Lawrence Mulloy fumed, 'when do you want us to launch, next April???'.
A lot of you conveying sorrow when it should be anger. Towards those who are incompetent and lack regard for innocent life. 7 brilliant people who made this world a better place lost to ridiculous circumstances of recklessness. Those in charge should have gone away for murder.
El seemed to me to always be too serious. Never smiling. He knew this was an experimental craft and wasn't crazy about all these civilians going along.
Not sure who but I would guess that at least a few of the seven had concerns about previous delays, weather and the school year colliding. As it did. The old white guys at nasa are ultimately to blame of course.
I actually started learning about this challenger mission 2 years ago in 2022. I even have 2 third cousins that learned about this challenger mission at the challenger learning center 2 school years apart. One of them is now a 4th grade teacher. Very recently I planned on doing a possible parkour performance next to both of those 3rd cousins of mine that learned about this fatal challenger accident at the Challenger learning center. One of the is at thier birthday party at the rolling kingdom in Hutson Massachusetts
Yall are aware thos was a hoax. They never actually boarded, and they went on to use the same exact names. Judy Resnik teaches law at Yale, although maybe not for much longer because someone finally outed her and her lies.
Unfortunately, they are not still alive. You mentioned Resnik, for example. Judith Resnik (the astronaut); PhD in Electrical Engineering at U of Maryland (1977). Selected as a mission specialist by NASA (1978), Subsequently, a member of the crew for the STS-41-D shuttle mission in 1983. Judith Resnik (the professor); JD from NYU in (1975), then was teaching law at USC (1980 to 1997). Law professor at Yale since 1997. She is a distinguished professor, with numerous papers published in law journals from 1982 on. So, unless she received two concurrent doctorates in two different fields, in two different cities, then was commuting between teaching at USC, and being an astronaut with NASA, they are two different people. In fact, all of them have a personal history; family, friends, students, colleagues. One shouldn't simply accept a couple TH-cam videos, without taking the time to verify their validity. And if the government wanted to hide their identities, why would they let them keep their names, and give them very visible public positions at major institutions? And if they did, why then did it take nearly 30 years for anyone to notice?
@@franknorthcuttmusic That is hysterical. Bring me the rosters of the students she taught at NYU and USC. Then I'd actually listen to you. Until you can bring forth that proof, you opinion means absolutely nothing. Let me talk to the classes of students she taught. Or perhaps the same institutions, organizations, and indoctrination centers were paid some realllly nice money to change a few forms, and put that someone worked there at that time. Hmmmmmmm let's put our thinking caps on friend. You are more intelligent than you lead us to believe. Do your best to not be so blinded with things RIGHT in front of you. The proof is staring you in the face, and yet you don't believe. How very unfortunate.
@@duediligencedrag I’m sorry that you found it humorous. That was not the intent. Obviously, I don’t have a student roster. However, below is a link to Resnik’s CV from her Yale Law School faculty page, as of 2022. It covers her employment history, education, publications (dating back to the early 80s), professional awards (going back to the 70s and 80s), court testimony before the US House (going back to the 70s and 80s), litigation and oral arguments, including one in front of the SCOTUS, in 1987. The claim was, as I understand it, that they were whisked away from the launch site to someplace where they were taught to be lawyers, professors, and business people, then placed in new careers. But we’re not just talking about students anymore, and not just their families. According to Resnik’s CV it now appears as though this plan goes all the way to the US House and the Supreme Court; not to mention the faculty members and administrators who nominated her for those numerous awards, all the members of the societies and organizations she was a member of, and all the people that worked with her on her publications and hearing testimonies. If these people weren’t in on it, why did none of them speak up? Do you really think this is just a fake dossier? To what end? I don’t think I can add two links to one comment, so I am following this with one more post that may be of interest. law.yale.edu/sites/default/files/resnik_judith_resume_december_21_2022.pdf
@@duediligencedrag Just so you don’t think this was just a fluke, here’s one more - Michael J. Smith. The astronaut - BS in Naval Science, US Naval Academy; (1967). MS in Aeronautical Eng., Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA; (1968). Naval flight training; (1969), flight instructor; (1969-1971), tour in Viet Nam; (1972). Graduated test pilot school; (1974). Selected for astronaut program; (1980). The professor - BS Psychology, U of Wisconsin; (1968). PhD in Industrial Psychology, U of Wisconsin; (1973). Worked at NIOSH for 10 years before returning to U of W to teach. He has also written numerous academic papers and magazine articles on Industrial Psychology from the mid 80's to 2014. Below is a link to his publications. If you go to page 8, some are dated back to 1984. Are U. of Wisconsin and Dr. Smith’s co-authors in on it as well? None of this is ever addressed. We’re supposed to look at a few pictures, taken some 30 years apart, of people who seem to look like other people, and just assume it is them, ignoring all other facts. And again, why did the geniuses who planned this hide their identities by letting them keep their names (or a close facsimile), and placing them in such high visibility positions? That would be absurd. I know I haven’t convinced you of anything, but I hope it is at least food for thought. www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/Michael-J-Smith-48119395
I mean other than the other two videos you have posted? Do you have footage of key camera launch footage,extended footage of NASA'S TV coverage of the event?
All on board can be found alive and well except one... Richard Scobee CEO of Cows in Trees. Michael J Smith Professor at University Wisconsin. Judith Resnik Yale Law Professor. Sharon A McAuliffe Syracuse Law Professor... both Carl McNair and Elison Onizuka just 'coincidentally' happen to have identical twin brothers with the exact same voice and mannerisms. Footage of a number of the names I mentioned can be found and their voices and mannerism are identical. The budget of the Challenger flight was est. $3.2billion and increased public support for NASA funding, the clean up was esitmated to be $65million + $250million to redesign the shuttle solid rocket boosters. The families of those onboard were paid 7.7 million. NASA's current annual budget is $32.41 billion dollars and it's all tax funded. It a was scam and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why.
I have no idea why NASA would launch them in the middle of winter. Spring or Fall would’ve been better and Christa McAulife can still teach her students from space. So sad 🥲
One reason the launch site was in Florida was so they could launch year-around. They couldn’t take a season off. The weather was unusually cold that week.
Show us the video clip of the crew coming out of the escape tube (practice run). That's right. There is a clip of the entire crew coming down a chute in case of last second ditch. They were never in the shuttle. Lies reveal themselves over time.
Great video!! Thanks for sharing! Sweet brilliant people of Challenger 😓So Sad😱♥️🙏🌹♥️I watched the entire tragedy in 1986 on my little Kitchen TV while cooking Shrimp Gumbo-Was Shocked 😳 Unbelievable ‼️I still can’t believe the shuttle exploded
During my lunch hour as a Public Affairs Officer at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. I had stopped to mail some things at the nearby civilian post office in Oceanport. I was coming down the front walk leaving and I saw one of the secretaries from our building. She had an odd look. I greeted her and she said "Did you hear? The space shuttle blew up." My brain just stopped working for about 10 seconds. No words or thoughts. I hadn't felt like that since President Kennedy was assassinated.
I remember the morning of January 28th 1986 I was watching a little bot of TV then there came an ABC special news report about an explosion that occurred with the space shuttle I talked to a girl later that morning about the mishap She said they were all dead
My teacher was talking about this she said it was cold so that the fire from the bottom was on the ice on the rocketship and she said she was watching on tv in school

We needed to make sure that what we are doing was worth it, and find out what went wrong, and more importantly what we did wrong, and we need to fix it and make it better." -Barbara Morgan, NASA's Oral History Project, 2011
If challenger did make it into space and make it back then there would've been lots of children running on the runway and hugging
The challenger accident was totally avoidable, but to NASAs taking space flight as granted. So sad, to see how these people died.
Oh man. The gentleman's face at 20:35. Gets me every time.
He was monitoring the telemetry data and when it suddenly went dead he looked up to see what happened. sad
@@zachos2 Really ?? Poor guy. I didn't know. It's awful ! There is some people so gentle having heart and in the same time you can join the worst of rot.
That's our world, don't forget it.
I love to hear about all the astronauts. Christa got so much attention (not her fault) that the rest of the crew of Challenger were forgotten about.
that is such an ignorant comment, i can tell you about the other 6, Mike was a pilot in Vietnam Dick Judy Elison and Ron were all space veterans with at least one pre disaster mission each and Greg was a Hughes engineer he was a last minute inclusion for this mission
@@kieraingeaney6437 I appreciate your opinion! 😉

@@AlexGarcia-ze4yg couldn't tell ya!

To this day it's still so sad to watch anything with the Challenger astronauts. That launch never should of went off that day. The deaths of those 7 heroes could of been avoided. Shame on NASA for launching that day. I was born in 88 and I live 30 mins NW of the Cape and I've watched tons of shuttle launches and always wanted to be an astronaut but I have always had some sort of hate for NASA since then. I understand there is alot that goes into launches and deadlines are a big deal but they should of listened to their engineers that day including Allan McDonald he told them something bad would happen if they launched. SpaceX should launch a teacher into space as a tribute to Christa McAuliffe
I think Ronald McNair was one of the coolest astronauts and this crew was such an amazing bunch. I was in elementary school during this and remember how sad it was.
Lol ya so sad,you were sure fooled
Judy Resnik is a Goddess, and now she is looking down on us.
Have you read Judy's bio... in Wikipedia???? OMG....she right up in there with Leo DaVinci, Timur, Alexander the Great, Atila the Hun, Ghengis Khan... no, no, no...she was better. that all of them....!!!! She was engineer in at least 4 different disciplines, had perfect scores in all all the SATs she ever took, she was a software developer, piano virtuousa, runner up homecoming queen, excellent pilot, wrote papers...had a PHD...had 2 jobs, a husband...and all that by the age of 35...UNBELIEVABLE..!!
I wonder....how my hubby who is pretty darn smart, graduated SCL in Mathematics and Economics, took several courses in Game Theory, Statistics, etc etc, etc,..can not managed to feed the cats, clean the house, take the trash out, do the grocery shopping and do the laundry while he is coding his software app... 🤔 mmmm is a mystery!
@@orionstar6268 First part of the comment is okay, but the second part is completely irrelevant: Nobody cares about you or your husband, and he's not as smart as you think... xD
She is looking down on you, but not in the way you think haha.
That opening footage is minus jarvis and plus babara morgan...mcaulifes back up....still alive to this date and finally flew in space herself in 2007
@ 30:02, John F. Kennedy Jr. Sadly, he would meet the same fate 13 years later in a plane crash flew.
It's crazy to watch R. Regan speeching on my screen.
I go back in the past and I'm 16.
He was very feet for his old (1910 I guess).
As Jim Davis and John Wayne, they were real actors western movies. All this time is gone with them.
I'll never forget them! I saw the explosion on TV and I start crying desperately like they were my parents.Love to their souls forever!❤
When I looked Christa in the eyes, I had to cry. Christa McAuliffe & Barbara Morgan are my favorite astronauts forever.
@James Earl hmmm...
@James Earl please send me the link proving this? I have an open mind but I really doubt this one.
@James Earl 🙄
Thanks for not telling any of us for over 30 years that 2 (two) of the crew members have identical twins.
Christa is talking about the previous columbia flifht returning which would make this portion of the video jan 18 1986
It's crazy she mentioned Columbia knowing now both shuttles would eventually end up being lost. So sad 😢.
They were all very nice people.
The look on the controller's face @ 20:37 says it all....
I wasn’t even thought of when this happened but since I’m a space enthusiast I do know about this awful tragedy. Rest in peace to all seven of the crewmembers who lost their lives that day. If someone asked me if I could meet anyone famous is no longer living I would’ve love to meet Krista McAuliffe. I think she had a great personality and she seem like a genuinely nice person. We would’ve had the same interests and I would’ve asked her what it was like to actually launch to space and be selected as an astronaut and what her training was like. I would love to see another civilian selected in the future to go to space and live on the international space station and teach lessons in space like Krista McAuliffe had planned to do. Rest in peace Judy Resnick Ron McNair Greg Jarvis Mike Smith L Annazuka Dick Scobie and Krista McAuliffe.
They are not dead!

Legends never die and these 7 wonderful people became legends just 73 seconds after liftoff. God bless them and their families...
They didn't die at all. IT was staged.
@@aidungeon2591 Yeah, luckily they are still alive.
@@JohnSmith-pb4ri yeah kinda ironic though that they 'luckily' are still alive when what they did was very shady to the public, if they were to be exposed or found out but i doubt it since no one would believe it
@@aidungeon2591 Conspiracy theories are evil. They are dead heroes.
Did you know that the first person to be found in the shuttle dead was Judy Resnik
That's really sad...
😢
We missed him never forgotten story numbered forever
Gone but never forgotten
RIP to the seven crew members of Challenger
Fun fact: 4 years later in 1990 there was movie that out about the crew members
Yeah we all fell for it, hook, line and sinker! To think of all the people who were fooled, emotionally manipulated and left broken hearted over this supposed catastrophe!
Well, they can stop feeling sad about the crew because six out of the seven are still alive and well, and very well indeed I might add! Check it out for yourself!
Christa Mcauliffe is now Sharon A Mcauliffe (lawyer), Ellison Onizuka is now little brother Claude Onizuka, Ronald McNair is now identical twin Carl McNair (inspirational speaker), Richard Scobee is still Richard Scobee (CEO), Judith Resnik is still Judith Resnik (professor), Michael J Smith is still Michael J Smith (professor) and Gregory Jarvis (unknown). If there is anything sad about this event, it is this, that these people agreed to be a part of a world-wide deception and that NASA cannot be trusted.
Conspiracy theories are evil. They are dead heroes.
A few more seconds and they would have been in space!!!!
A few seconds changed everything forever.
Do you happen to have any more footage from the STS-51-L mission?
Очень тяжело смотреть на это горе!Все космонавты мира ,кто отдал жизни,не забыты!!!
That was such a great crew. Thanks to people like them our world might have a bright future. But what really killed them was selfish behavior of stupid managers. Money is the root of all evil.
Yes, part of it was that
Part of it was also NASA's stupidity in insisting on a rigid adherence to a launch schedule. When told it was recommended that the launch not take place, NASA official Lawrence Mulloy fumed, 'when do you want us to launch, next April???'.
whatchitnow You are so right...
@@nopcshere6097 And nothing happened to him so don't act like you care. Don't even mention his name unless you're willing to be part of the solution.
The “love of money” but close…
A lot of you conveying sorrow when it should be anger. Towards those who are incompetent and lack regard for innocent life. 7 brilliant people who made this world a better place lost to ridiculous circumstances of recklessness. Those in charge should have gone away for murder.
El seemed to me to always be too serious. Never smiling. He knew this was an experimental craft and wasn't crazy about all these civilians going along.
Not sure who but I would guess that at least a few of the seven had concerns about previous delays, weather and the school year colliding. As it did. The old white guys at nasa are ultimately to blame of course.
Deceive the mass
Conspiracy theories are evil. They are dead heroes.
When we hear the phrase "The best and the brightest", it refers to great Americans like the crew of Challenger.
Actually, that term was applied elsewhere, and used ironically by David Halberstam.
@@GH-oi2jf Understood, but it can certainly be applied to these heroic Americans.
I actually started learning about this challenger mission 2 years ago in 2022. I even have 2 third cousins that learned about this challenger mission at the challenger learning center 2 school years apart. One of them is now a 4th grade teacher. Very recently I planned on doing a possible parkour performance next to both of those 3rd cousins of mine that learned about this fatal challenger accident at the Challenger learning center. One of the is at thier birthday party at the rolling kingdom in Hutson Massachusetts
This document with the last moments in the lives of the astronauts is impressive
Little did they know that their faces would become the most familiar faces of the entire shuttle program. All for some very sad reasons.
The man at 26:50, was he the guy who did the countdown of the challenger's launch?
I was 6 yrs old whhen this happened,i remember it well.i lost my father kater that same year in an explosion at work.
Heartbreaking.
I remember this like it was yesterday
The Challenger had never been allowed to leave the platform on that January 28th 1986 ! 🙏🏻
Greetings from Amsterdam, Holland🇳🇱🧡
Yall are aware thos was a hoax. They never actually boarded, and they went on to use the same exact names.
Judy Resnik teaches law at Yale, although maybe not for much longer because someone finally outed her and her lies.
Unfortunately, they are not still alive. You mentioned Resnik, for example.
Judith Resnik (the astronaut); PhD in Electrical Engineering at U of Maryland (1977). Selected as a mission specialist by NASA (1978), Subsequently, a member of the crew for the STS-41-D shuttle mission in 1983.
Judith Resnik (the professor); JD from NYU in (1975), then was teaching law at USC (1980 to 1997). Law professor at Yale since 1997. She is a distinguished professor, with numerous papers published in law journals from 1982 on.
So, unless she received two concurrent doctorates in two different fields, in two different cities, then was commuting between teaching at USC, and being an astronaut with NASA, they are two different people.
In fact, all of them have a personal history; family, friends, students, colleagues. One shouldn't simply accept a couple TH-cam videos, without taking the time to verify their validity. And if the government wanted to hide their identities, why would they let them keep their names, and give them very visible public positions at major institutions? And if they did, why then did it take nearly 30 years for anyone to notice?
@@franknorthcuttmusic That is hysterical. Bring me the rosters of the students she taught at NYU and USC. Then I'd actually listen to you. Until you can bring forth that proof, you opinion means absolutely nothing. Let me talk to the classes of students she taught. Or perhaps the same institutions, organizations, and indoctrination centers were paid some realllly nice money to change a few forms, and put that someone worked there at that time. Hmmmmmmm let's put our thinking caps on friend. You are more intelligent than you lead us to believe. Do your best to not be so blinded with things RIGHT in front of you. The proof is staring you in the face, and yet you don't believe. How very unfortunate.
@@duediligencedrag I’m sorry that you found it humorous. That was not the intent. Obviously, I don’t have a student roster. However, below is a link to Resnik’s CV from her Yale Law School faculty page, as of 2022. It covers her employment history, education, publications (dating back to the early 80s), professional awards (going back to the 70s and 80s), court testimony before the US House (going back to the 70s and 80s), litigation and oral arguments, including one in front of the SCOTUS, in 1987.
The claim was, as I understand it, that they were whisked away from the launch site to someplace where they were taught to be lawyers, professors, and business people, then placed in new careers. But we’re not just talking about students anymore, and not just their families. According to Resnik’s CV it now appears as though this plan goes all the way to the US House and the Supreme Court; not to mention the faculty members and administrators who nominated her for those numerous awards, all the members of the societies and organizations she was a member of, and all the people that worked with her on her publications and hearing testimonies. If these people weren’t in on it, why did none of them speak up? Do you really think this is just a fake dossier? To what end?
I don’t think I can add two links to one comment, so I am following this with one more post that may be of interest.
law.yale.edu/sites/default/files/resnik_judith_resume_december_21_2022.pdf
@@duediligencedrag Just so you don’t think this was just a fluke, here’s one more - Michael J. Smith.
The astronaut - BS in Naval Science, US Naval Academy; (1967). MS in Aeronautical Eng., Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA; (1968). Naval flight training; (1969), flight instructor; (1969-1971), tour in Viet Nam; (1972). Graduated test pilot school; (1974). Selected for astronaut program; (1980).
The professor - BS Psychology, U of Wisconsin; (1968). PhD in Industrial Psychology, U of Wisconsin; (1973). Worked at NIOSH for 10 years before returning to U of W to teach. He has also written numerous academic papers and magazine articles on Industrial Psychology from the mid 80's to 2014. Below is a link to his publications. If you go to page 8, some are dated back to 1984. Are U. of Wisconsin and Dr. Smith’s co-authors in on it as well?
None of this is ever addressed. We’re supposed to look at a few pictures, taken some 30 years apart, of people who seem to look like other people, and just assume it is them, ignoring all other facts. And again, why did the geniuses who planned this hide their identities by letting them keep their names (or a close facsimile), and placing them in such high visibility positions? That would be absurd.
I know I haven’t convinced you of anything, but I hope it is at least food for thought.

"We watched Columbia go over the Houston are this morning and that was a thrill" Geez.
Judy...wow she was gorgeous.
I read that they were probably still alive, but the fall and hitting the water is what killed them. Damn.
@ 11:20 - what's this business about looking forward to getting the secret handshake?
The feeling of being in space getting to do something amazing
+Gaz2598 Nothing too amazing about lying to the world about going to the moon.
+wanda oreilly 😒
+wanda oreilly be respectful they lost their lives representing our country
wanda oreilly--- its a joke, a special handshake only for those who made it to space...just a joke...
Two things in my life that I don't think I'll ever forget the Challenger disaster and 9/11.
How about Covid19, Iraq, Afghanistan 🇦🇫 etc war 🤔
13:07 Onizuka's face is not well
I mean other than the other two videos you have posted?
Do you have footage of key camera launch footage,extended footage of NASA'S TV coverage of the event?
It’s very sad to see them go through all their pointless safety training.
All on board can be found alive and well except one... Richard Scobee CEO of Cows in Trees. Michael J Smith Professor at University Wisconsin. Judith Resnik Yale Law Professor. Sharon A McAuliffe Syracuse Law Professor... both Carl McNair and Elison Onizuka just 'coincidentally' happen to have identical twin brothers with the exact same voice and mannerisms. Footage of a number of the names I mentioned can be found and their voices and mannerism are identical. The budget of the Challenger flight was est. $3.2billion and increased public support for NASA funding, the clean up was esitmated to be $65million + $250million to redesign the shuttle solid rocket boosters. The families of those onboard were paid 7.7 million. NASA's current annual budget is $32.41 billion dollars and it's all tax funded. It a was scam and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why.
Conspiracy theories are evil. They are dead heroes.
You really believe they didn't die?
It is a shame that if you mention the Challenger to this new generation, most of them don't have a clue what you are talking about.
They are thick that’s why. Cannot look beyond their own asses.
Yeah and if they do know the name they will immediately say NOT TRUE THEY ARE ALL ALIVE!! Really really sad…
This reminds me of failing a job interview at Motorola.
I have no idea why NASA would launch them in the middle of winter. Spring or Fall would’ve been better and Christa McAulife can still teach her students from space. So sad 🥲
It looked that sunny I thought it was summer at first. Much more sensible in summer!
One reason the launch site was in Florida was so they could launch year-around. They couldn’t take a season off. The weather was unusually cold that week.
The resolution at the collision with the Dome was terrible when the explosion itself became quite clear how convenient
Sad man that he said he would like to get home in a few days and the teacher said to watch day 41 watching b
Show us the video clip of the crew coming out of the escape tube (practice run). That's right. There is a clip of the entire crew coming down a chute in case of last second ditch. They were never in the shuttle. Lies reveal themselves over time.
Great video!! Thanks for sharing! Sweet brilliant people of Challenger 😓So Sad😱♥️🙏🌹♥️I watched the entire tragedy in 1986 on my little Kitchen TV while cooking Shrimp Gumbo-Was Shocked 😳 Unbelievable ‼️I still can’t believe the shuttle exploded
During my lunch hour as a Public Affairs Officer at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. I had stopped to mail some things at the nearby civilian post office in Oceanport. I was coming down the front walk leaving and I saw one of the secretaries from our building. She had an odd look. I greeted her and she said "Did you hear? The space shuttle blew up." My brain just stopped working for about 10 seconds. No words or thoughts. I hadn't felt like that since President Kennedy was assassinated.
Happy Birthday Dr. Judy Resnik R.I.P.
She’s still alive she’s a professor at Yale university
No she is not alive anymore. She was very unrelated to the Judy resnik that is a professor at Yale university
What an awesome video
Fantastic documentary
I remember the morning of January 28th 1986 I was watching a little bot of TV then there came an ABC special news report about an explosion that occurred with the space shuttle I talked to a girl later that morning about the mishap She said they were all dead
My teacher was talking about this she said it was cold so that the fire from the bottom was on the ice on the rocketship and she said she was watching on tv in school
And yet 40 years later they are still finding incredibly large chunks of debris right where they were looking
11:58 she was so right
It's hard to believe that all of these astronauts would be well into their 70's and 80's by now if they were still alive.
guess what
21:04 - Watch the late Jay Greene's chest expand and contract with the stress...
Sad I was 9 years old in 1986
This was just terrible, I remember my parents telling me every detail💔
I first heard about the challenger distaer was in the countdown inspiration 4 documentary.
