Interesting... the horizontal sparks aren’t igniters, they’re to burn off any excess hydrogen floating about. The engines are ignited internally. The engines aren’t doing a gimbal test at ignition either (that happens earlier in the countdown sequence), in the slow motion the engine movement is the shock/heat from the start sequence.
mezsh Every mission has spacesuits in the event that an emergency EVA is required. In addition, the tunnel between the Columbia’s native airlock and the Spacehab module had an airlock segment immediately aft of the crew cabin’s hatch. Every mission that carried Spacehab or Spacehab has this tunnel. I know you can see this in use on STS-57, a mission with Spacehab and an EVA.
@@kidpagronprimsank05 probably not. There's a lot of could haves in this scenario. But the fact is, there was a lot of willful ignorance. Both prior to and during the mission. That's what killed the crew. Two crews, if you think of it.

It's hard to imagine a time when no one was quite sure what the RMS could and couldn't do.
Everybody has to start from somewhere...the Shuttle itself was an extremely experimental spacecraft and should've continued to be treated as such!
If only Columbia had been allowed to keep it's arm, the mystery of wing damage on STS 107 would have been solved by day 2.
This mission didn't required one
Would have made no difference to the outcome. There was no spacesuits or airlock module installed on Columbia for that particular mission.

The next question is actually more interesting. The question is, if they knew, what can they done?
