Rest in peace to the members of the Challenger crew.
All members of the Challenger "disaster" are well and alive. There is a reason why they are hiding it.
ohh give me a fkn break you sheeple fall for every lie these satanic freemasons feed spoon ya'll with.
My father had always been fascinated by the space program. The day of the Challenger launch was the day of my mother’s funeral and we were all in the living room, dressed up for the service and Dad wanted a pleasant distraction. He turned on the tv and we watched the live coverage, of course expecting it to be exciting and hope-filled. Like everyone else, we were absolutely horrified by the tragedy that happened before our eyes. Poor Dad was especially devastated. We shut off the tv and headed to the church in a daze. Mum’s funeral and the Challenger disaster will always be linked for our family.
😯😥
Uh-oh? It took you over three minutes of video to tell us they said "Uh-oh"? I want my money back!
I had the same feeling
Yeah..NOT left "speechless" .. That was let out long ago. I'm sure there was more but it's probably pretty gruesome and they want to keep it from the public .
They do anything for a click.
Uh-Oh
I clicked on the video already knowing those were the last words which are chilling because it really makes you wonder what he saw or realized, I also can’t stop thinking about what the teacher was feeling or at what point did she realize they are were in trouble man that had to been scary for her smh!
They were alive on the way down, what an absolute nightmare, may they rest in piece.
Apollo 1 '67
Challenger '86
Columbia '03
Alive but not sure if they were conscious from the G-force. The capsule was probably corkscrew like the roller coaster from hell
Alive and conscious enough to open their emergency oxygen tanks… very, very sad.
Only the two pilots were conscious as likely Judith Resnick had activated their air pack, from the back of their seats. She was the one who could access it. The others including her, all passed out, on the way down. The pilots were aware and they went out like the good troopers, these guys are. The moment they hit the water, everyone was instantly dead. I read a special edition in the Houston Chronicle that had a recording of what went on, in the cockpit They published it and I wish I had kept that paper.
I remember the Apollo 1 accident in 67; Virgil "Gus" Grissom was my favorite astronaut. What a terrible way to die. God bless all their families, may their memories be a blessing.
@@davidmccall4776 Oh God, weren't those guys burned alive?
I was a teacher in Nova Scotia, Canada, as the crew prepared for the trip of a life time. For Christa McAuliffe it was to be the class trip of a lifetime. Our staff sent her a postcard of well-wishes.....,I hope she received it....hope it made her smile. Rest in Eternal Peace...

Did you look any of this up ?
The O rings were not overly sensitive or flawed. No more than your car is flawed that it can’t run at the top of Mt Everest. Every piece of equipment has an operating range. The O rings had a designed operating range that was well known and documented. The conditions were outside of that range on the day of launch. Engineers at Morton Thiokol tried to raise the issue and were ignored.
Correct.
It was the design of the field joint itself (which also experienced exhaust gas blow-by and impingement several times during warm weather launches) that was flawed.
Correct. They had a deadline and they took the chances. Does not seem fair to the ones who lost their lives.
@@BradH2024 I would argue even the field joint wasn’t flawed. It worked when ran in the conditions they were told to design for it to operate. The fault is squarely on NASA for ignoring that they were choosing to operate outside of the specifications THEY gave to the suppliers. Even after it was pointed out to them.
Yeah, they failed.
I know I'll catch hell for saying this, but I think it happened simply because It was politically advantageous for the then current administration! Reagan's health began rapidly deteriorating in the months just after the "accident," and understandably so.
My dad was a teacher and applied for the mission. I watched the Challenger go down as a 1st grader at school. I'm happy he didn't mention his application until I was old enough to understand it.
I was shopping with my BFF on the day of the disaster. We lived in Lakeland, Florida., roughly 110 miles from Cape Canaveral. We’d ALWAYS had a “good long-distance “aerial”/“visual” view of launches from the Base. We could CLEARLY SEE every rocket and “Shuttle” with the naked-eye. “Launch Viewings” and “Viewing Parties” were as common as “Hurricane Parties”. But they were VASTLY becoming “boring”. THIS Launch however, was a “Special” one.
Thus, there we were…standing amongst a crowd of customers and employees in the “Electronics Section” of a Major Retail Store watching, as per usual, EVERY SINGLE TELEVISION “tuned-in” to the “Historic” launch. After “counting-down”, “out-loud” with everyone else, my BFF and I ran outside to watch it “live”, as it would quickly “enter into our viewpoint”. We joined the “outside crowd” and SAW the explosion happen in REAL TIME!! (Neither my BFF, NOR ANYONE ELSE “WITH US” realized “what had happened”!!) I SCREAMED (and I am NOT a “screamer”) “OH MY GOD IT BLEW UP”!!, in a SINGLE “RUN-ON” SENTENCE, as I turned and RUSHED BACK to the “Electronics Section”, trailed by my BFF AND the ENTIRE OUTSIDE CROWD!!
There, we were met with an “eerie”, STUNNED SILENCE from the ENTIRE STORE. (The Store Manager had even ordered the incessantly-piped, “in-store, ‘music and advertising’ tape reel” to be TURNED OFF.) “Some” were vocally sobbing; “some” muttered Prayer’s for the Crew and their families; “some” silently cried so as “not to frighten their children”; “some” covered their mouths and/or faces in horror…Men and male teenagers alike removed their hats “In Honor” with “some”, respectfully “Saluting”, in absentia.
We ALL STOOD…too SHOCKED and HORRIFIED to say a word, before slowly retreating from the Electronics Section, as all but a few, small televisions were “left on” with the volume “SUBSTANTIALLY lowered” to follow the “aftermath coverage” from the Cape…..
No…I’ll NEVER forget “THAT DAY”…😔
RIP, ✌🏻❤️👊🏻 Peace, Love, and Respect…..
I watched it live on TV. The next day, my sister, who was one of the many, many candidates considered was interviewed on local news. It didn't occur to me until that moment that I potentially could have lost my sister.
I remember being a 15 year old teenager when this happened. I was home sick and watched it on TV. I was sitting on the couch eating a bowl of cereal watching the launch. When the Challenger exploded, I sat there frozen in disbelief with my spoon up to my face as to what exactly just happened. "Did the space shuttle really just blow up?"
I then called my mother to the living room telling her, "Mom, come to the living room! The space shuttle just blew up!"

I watched the Challenger launch from my job at a Hospital in Ft.Myers Florida. A bunch of Techs, nurses, and staff went outside of the building for a perfect launch view. I remember it being quiet cold that morning also. We immediately knew something was wrong when the boosters separated and went opposite directions, after a big while smoke cloud. I will never forget that day. RIP Challenger Crew. Gone but not forgotten
They found other failures of those o rings captured during other shuttle launches. They knew there were issues and ignored them until too late. Not only did they redesign the o rings, but NASA got redesigned by people getting fired or asked to stand down. It won't bring back those poor people, but future lives were saved. RIP to the crew. I'll never forget what happened.
I was there on vaca that fri. But it was so cold, they scrubbed. I do have a pic of Challenger on launchpad.
We students were all sent home early. What a sad day for our Nation, and the entire world.
I was in 1st grade.
I remember watching it in the gym with the whole school.
I remember there were 100 of us watching it all on ONE 25 INCH TV ON A ROLLING SHELF.
I remember teachers crying.
I also remember they sent us home around 10:30-11:00am.?
3rd grade for me, we watched in the school library.
6th grade and we watched it on a tv rolled into the classroom, when it exploded we didn’t know what to think we just knew something didn’t go right and the teacher didn’t say much just turned the tv off and we went back to class!
I was in the 3rd grade and watched it live with my classmates. What's really odd is that my teacher at the time shared the same last name as the teacher on the spaceship 😮
Watched it live from my science clsss. It was surreal when it exploded. No one knew what to do or say
NASA said " we have a major malfunction". That is what they said. The cabin ( capsule ) with the astronauts was intact. Has they rigged it with parachutes, like the Soyuz does, they would have been saved. They were always cutting corners.....keeping fingers crossed to make their dead lines.......Same thing with Columbia that got damaged during the launch, with a ( hard ) piece of foam that hit the left leading edge of the shuttle. They had no way to fix it , so they kept their fingers crossed. It failed during re-entry and the astronauts died. That was pretty much the end of the shuttle. After that, the ISS was using the Russian Soyuz to launch the people there and retrieve them. The US had a deal with them ; right now, without Elon Musk, how it would work out, since we are at war, on the Ukraine front, is just up in the air ??? Elon came in at the right time......
I remember this very well.
Nasa is like Santa Claus for adults . . . sweet dreams
People eat that stuff up. Oh my God, get another box of tissues. Too many tears! Lmao
I am not sure I ever fully recovered from seeing this Live on TV as an 8 year old.
Save you some time: the last words captured was "uh oh" for pilot Michael Smith. Immediately after that the vehicle breakup occured and ALL power was lost. There was no secret recording found, although a recorder was found, probably Christa's, weeks later in the ocean. It had nothing of use on it and doesn't appear to have even been turned on.
I believe McAuliffe’s recorder was stowed in her locker at the time.
I was getting ready to go out that morning, but I was waiting for my roommate to get home from his job at a donut shop. He always brougt home donuts and i wanted to take a few over to my girlfriends apartment across the courtyard. I looked out the window and saw him blast into his parking space, then saw him sprint out of his truck and head for the door. As soon as the door opened he came in with a look of horror on he face and said, "Turn on the TV, the space shuttle just blew up."
Jeff and I, along with my girlfriend sat in the living room most of the day watching the coverage on CNN.
We were supposed to watch this in 2nd grade. I remember my teacher walking in somber faced and telling my class the shuttle had blown up so I guess we were fortunate in that she was recording it because we were at recess. I remember sometimes early mornings they'd televise shuttle launches that I'd watch with my Dad.
R.I.P. all who were on The Challenger.
Dead rate amongst astronauts ? somewhere around 25%. One out of four may not survive the program. Some died in training like Gus Grissom and his team and others....well, may have died in a regular flight, or something related to it. Seems very high. The people who fly "wing suits" have also that sort of percentage to die. They hit bridges , or mountains, while they navigate their "suits"...... Eventually these percentages get better as people get more experienced. It is still considered high risk !
@@linanicolia1363 controversy around gus grisom .rumours he was gotten rid of because of his concerns about the apollo programme.
This occurred on January 28, 1986. RIP to all aboard the Challenger.
"Going with throttle up"
Boy, I'm speechless.
Just to clarify the calls to roll and throttle up are confirmation calls not intstructions, the entire launch is Automatic the final call "you are go at throttle up" means everything is good at the throttle up portion of the flight
I remember watching this live. So sad.
The O-rings didn't rupture, they shrunk, due to the cold, thus compromising the seal in the solid propellant booster. The escaping gases, extreme heat, and high pressure did the rest.
"Don't touch that button!" I'm just kidding! Without a little levity, we'll never be able to move on. God bless their memories.
I remember watching this live. Horrifying and heartbreaking. 💔
I was three months pregnant at the time i watching this tragidy unfold,before my very eyes as i just broke down crying so hard for the families,who lost their loved ones and that evening i started bleeding and lost my baby that night.I then cried for three days after. I will never forget that day and always wonder what my baby would have been and what my baby would have become if this baby would have lived.❤😢💔R.I.P. to my baby and to the beautiful souls lost on the Challenget that very sad day.💔😥🙏
Saw it live in my classroom
I will always remember the challenger..I was watching it live and saw the pieces going off in different directions, and the smoke trails...I knew right then that it had exploded..so sad..I can still see it and I cried for the 7 brave people who were so happy before this..
I'm so sorry to all the families of these brave men and women....❤
I was watching this when I was stationed at Naval Station Winter Harbor.
I remember I was home sick that day from elementary school. I think I was in the 4th or 5th grader. I watched it on t.v. When it took off, I was excited, then stun when it exploded on t.v. What a sad day.
There was no hydrogen leak in the right rocket which was a solid fuel booster.
Their final words were "Damn we are glad that we were not on that shuttle"!
Stating that the "O rings were overly sensitive to cold..." is an incredible gloss over of the facts.
I remember that day very well.I was sitting watching it live on TV all excited as it took off only to sit shell shocked as I seen it blow up.An explosion that should never have happened!RIP to the members of The Challenger 🙏
Almost 40 years later and it's still devastating to watch and witness like it was just yesterday.
I was getting ready for work watching. I sat down on my bed and cried for people i didn't even know 😢
Very sad, remember it like it was yesterday and I am from South Africa, Cape Town. RIP ladies and gentlemen. 🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦
Remember watching it in school so sad😢😢😢
I was walking in our Hooks drugstore when I heard about it. When I got home I watched on TV
Space is hard. RIP🙏🙏🙏🙏
its black ,
Space is easy. Getting there is the hard part.
@@jonbutcher9805as well as getting back. Who knows how many Russians died on the way back in
@@cherrytraveller5915 indeed. Although I believe America still holds the record for death's there and back. No offense to our cosmonaut friend's.
I was in second grade and watched it from home. I will never forget it.
Fireman warned them, but they wouldn’t listen
' Heartbreaking ' - Love / Respect 😢💔🙏🏴
ONE BIG REASON WHY I DRIVE A DODGE CHALLENGER IS FOR THE SPEED AND ITS NAME FOR THE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN THAT THROTTLED UP TO REACH THE STARS 🌟
I have wondered, if the parachutes, used to slow down the shuttle, after landing, could have been deployed, or weren't functional after the explosion. Not sure, that even if they were, wether it would have slowed it enough during the massive descent.
It’s weird that six of the seven crew members are alive and kicking to this day! Check it out!
I haven't read or heard that anywhere. A sensor probably went off, but he wouldn't have known what was about to happen. But we do know that the were alive after the explosion. That must of been absolutely frightening. Same with Columbia when it it started to disintegrate. Both are heartbreaking. But as sadly, a tragedy has to happen first before you find a problem and make sure it doesn't happen again.
I was hoping to hear them giving messages to family or even the news, but just “uhoh”👎👎👎.
Unfortunately when it came to Columbia they had warning of what was to come. STS 27 had over 700 tiles damaged after take off. The only reason they didn’t burn up on entry was because of a thicker plate in the right place. There was also warnings about the rings on challenger that were also ignored that occurred on a discovery flight as well as a few others. I only just learned about the tile issue on STS 27 a week ago. I was shocked. There is a video on UA-cam where the commander Hoot Gibbson talks about the incident. He and his wife were in the same intake group as most of the crew of Challenger.
You are correct. - Both of the shuttle accidents were preventable. I went to a lecture conducted by Astronaut Chris Hadfield. He told the audience that he watched the Challenger launch over and over and over again. He - and several others - knew something wasn't quite right even as the crew continued their mission. By then, it was too late, of course. When you fly commercial, the Captain conducts a 'walk around' during every turnaround. - Unfortunately, the Columbia crew didn't have that procedure as an SOP at the time. On later missions, the shuttle pitched up and over outside the ISS, so the station crew - and NASA could inspect the spacecraft's condition. The crew utilised remote cameras as well.
@@cherrytraveller5915I watched that video also!
Most experts believe that what Smith was reacting to was the sudden and complete loss of pressure in the External Tank LH2 tank (as the aft dome of the tank was burned through by the right SRB field joint leak, and then fell off) that he could see on one of the three CRT screens on the forward control panel between himself and Dick Scobee.
As the Pilot (and rookie), it was Smith’s job (with some help from Judy Resnik, who was the Flight Engineer and seated directly behind and between Scobee and Smith, where she had a view of some of the system monitoring screens and gauges) to closely monitor the vehicle systems throughout the launch (Scobee did, too - but as Commander on his second mission, he got to look out the windows and enjoy the view (as did Resnik) - at least until the disaster began to unfold…)
According to some, it’s also possible that Smith may have taken a glance out of a window - at just the right moment to see the the right SRB pivot, and its nose slam into and rupture the ET LOX tank.
Technically, the teacher Christa McAuliffe, wasn't the 'first civilian in space'.
Sad day! Everyone who watched it remembers exactly where they were.
I watched it live on tv in the 4th grade. It was so sad
The mailman just delivered to our door & I was crying about the Challenger exploding & we hugged.
Just released: Christa McAuliffe -“ what does this button do?”
She was a guest, not a pilot. She was a free rider. They never did that again. No more school teachers in space.......
They were told that those seals would fail and they didn't listen
I was under the impression they rcovered the black box and they have additional recordings of what was said as they plumeted to their deaths. I bet they know exactly how and when each astronaut died.
There was once a report indicating Ronald McNair led a prayer that served to calm a few members of the crew.
What a shame. I remember being so excited about being home able to watch the take off. I was so proud of Christa for having such an opportunity for and her students. It was definitely an OMG moment. Nooooooo. Will never forget the day the destruction and lost hopes to the crew . I wish their safety was considered first and foremost.
I remember that the mission had been delayed several times due to cold weather.
None of them are dead..They are all alive
Roger - go for throttle up !
Uh uh - words of commander
Dick Scobie -
I know the words by heart ❤
I was in school. It was live. The entire school was watching. Everyone was so excited. It was just awful because nobody really understood what was happening until they told us that it had exploded and the adults were scrambling to turn it off.
💔
I remember i was in 6 grade remember like it happen yesterday im 51 know i remember it in class they let us go home after it happen back then a tornado could be on its way and you could not go home early
My middle school was Christa McAuliffe
I went to Scobee Elementary 💜
I remember the day well. 😢
Not one of the worst. The worst.
I saw it live on TV but I didn't know what happened
And here I thought the final words were, what does this button do?
Why didn’t you mention RONALD MCNAIR? (Black astronaut seen in the footage)
He was also onboard and passed away that day.
DN
A bad rubber has caused a many accidents over the years for lots of people
This isn't common knowledge but after the initial explosion he said "We're going down" and "hang on" and "get your oxygen on" there was also screaming and crying. They lasted about two minutes until impact. NASA has all this recorded.
That's a debunked transcript. A fake.
Do you have a source for this, or just hearsay?
Rubbish the vehicle broke up there would be no power to any recorder and telemetry to the vehicle was lost so nothing could have been transmitted from it. The only way people knew theyhad survived the break up was activation of personal oxy packs which could have not happened accidently
100% false.
That was concocted by the tabloids (Weekly World News).
I Was In My Senior Year In High school ( El Toro High school) When This happened, My Niece Kate was 6 Days Old,
I am betting that the commander was reporting on the situation right up until the last moment.
I was at work when this happened..
NASA - Need Another Seven Astronauts...
Rip
Analysis reports indicate that the relatively intact crew capsule hit the water surface at approx 200 mph.
Life hangs on an O-ring. Morton Thiokol is now Cordant.
Actually, Cordant was bought out by Northrop Grumman.
Good and informative video. However, the crew had no control over what the shuttle was doing during the launch and ascent. Everything, including the pitch and roll program and the engines throttling up just before the disaster, was all controlled by the shuttle's onboard computers. The only thing the commander and pilot were doing during the ascent was monitoring what was happening by reference to their five CRT displays. By the way, technically the shuttle imploded, not exploded.
They were warned not to go
"Whats this button do?"
I was in 4th grade 😢
Those words didn't haunt me to be honest, however, Rick Husband's final cut-off words will forever haunt me as I'll never know what he was trying to say "Roger, uh, but..."
scobee did NOT tell smith to throttle up! the commander and the pilot are NOT in control of the main engine throttle! the flight computer controls the throttle!
If by external right rocket you mean the SRB, those use solid fuel, not hydrogen.
Last words…. “O shit!”
The prestige outweighed
The hazards!
I can remember what I was doing when the space shuttle exploded can you?
Wow nothing you didn't know already.
Why would you expect new data nearly 40 years later?
Last words was “ go with throttle up”
There sure are a lot of comments on here for being "left speechless".
I never heard what the final words were. You're misleading with your title
TOO COLD
They knew the job as dangerous when they took it. So, what ells is new question.
Um, Mike Smith’s “Uh-Oh!” hardly leaves me “speechless”.
It’s the disaster itself and the unnecessary deaths of Smith and his crewmates - that were clearly preventable (NASA AND MORTON THIOKOL (now part of Northrop Grumman) HAD NEARLY A DECADE OF WARNINGS THAT THE SRB FIELD JOINT DESIGN WAS FLAWED) - that leave me “speechless”.
