Part five of six. The investigation into the disaster quickly turned to the shuttle's heat resistant titles which covered the body of the vehicle. In particular, the tiles which coated the wings came under close scrutiny. Were these tiles truly as indestructible as everybody had believed?

The American space shuttle Discovery blast off from Kennedy Space Centre in Florida. It takes seven astronauts and supplies to the International Space Station. The crew of four men and three women will spend 13 days in space.
Rare footage from inside the crew cabin of space shuttle Columbia during its final moments. You can hear the crew talking with each other and at one point they get the feeling something is wrong. This is the real unaltered footage I found buried deep inside the NASA archives.
This fascinating BBC documentary looks at the factors contributing to Columbia's disaster, including the heat resistant tiles covering the body of the vehicle.
Video courtesy: NASA NASA documnetary detailing the events surrounding the loss of OV-099, Space Shuttle Challenger, shortly after the launch of the 25th flight of the Space Transportation System, Mission STS-51L, on 28 January, 1986, and the subsequent investigation into the loss of the vehicle and its crew of seven. The investigation shows that the Solid Rocket Booster field joints were of an insufficiently fault-tolerant design and when the vehicle was launched at below-normal temperatures, hot exhaust gasses leaked on ignition, damaging the integrity of the field joint, leading to a breach in the external tank and destruction of the orbiter.
At the end of a nearly flawless 15-day mission in early 2003, the space shuttle Columbia disintegrated during reentry into Earth's atmosphere, killing the crew of seven. In this documentary, we probe the accident and the decisions stretching back four decades that made the tragedy almost inevitable. The Columbia disaster, during the 113th shuttle mission, was the beginning of the end for the space plane. NASA responded by announcing the retirement of the shuttle in 2010, to be replaced by the Orion crew exploration vehicle as part of the Constellation program, which is inspired partly by an earlier generation of Apollo-style rocketry and spacecraft. The decision to retire the space shuttle program is currently under intense review, as it would leave the US with a "space gap" until the new Orion vehicle becomes ready around 2015. Exploring the past and future of the shuttle through the lens of the Columbia accident, we interview key NASA personnel who witnessed problems with the space shuttle program firsthand, including NASA engineer Rodney Rocha, who tried to sound the alarm about Columbia's potentially damaged condition; and flight director Leroy Cain, who worked with controllers to make sense of a cascade of warning signals from the craft during its ill-fated return to Earth.

Very simple explanation, simplistic video about why Space Shuttle Columbia crashed.
The 2003 space-shuttle Columbia tragedy is explored through interviews with NASA engineer Rodney Rocha, flight director Leroy Cain, astronauts and Columbia Accident Investigation Board members. The episode also details the history of the shuttle program, including the design trade-offs that played roles in both the Columbia and Challenger disasters, and looks ahead to the future of the US space program.

Mission control video of STS-107 final moments as viewed from the ground. Lock the Doors. Lock the doors really means secure all the data. Or as they say. I downloaded this video just a day or 2 after the crash from NASA web site. But I can't find it there anymore. So I decided to post it here.

BBC space documentary 'Space Tourist' takes a look back at the space shuttle Challenger mission and why it is not necessarily wise for non-astronauts to venture out into the last frontier. Space tourist enthusiasts counter this argument with their own opinions on why space travel is a good idea.
After the traumatic explosion of the 2003 space shuttle Columbia, scientists were surprised to discover micro-organisms that have survived. How does this information impact their knowledge of their universe, and the existence of life? Find out more from this great video from BBC Horizon show 'We Are the Aliens'.

Early on the morning of April 12, 1981, two astronauts sat strapped into their seats on the flight deck of Columbia, a radically new spacecraft known as the space shuttle. John Young, the commander, had already flown in space four times, including a walk on the moon in 1972. Bob Crippen, the pilot, was a Navy test pilot who would go on to command three future shuttle missions. But nothing either man had done or would do was quite like this.

This is STS-93--Columbia in July 1999--July 20, 1999--the 30th anniv. of the Apollo 11 moon landing. This was the mission to deploy Chandra X-Ray Observatory. It was all ready to go, then there was a problem and they had to abort.

January 28th, 1986 at 11:39am EDT - The Space Shuttle Challenger Explodes on its 10th flight during mission STS-51-L. The explosion occurred 73 seconds after liftoff and was actually the result of rapid deceleration and not combustion of fuel. CNN was the only national news station to broadcast the mission live, so thus what you are witnessing on this video is the only coverage of the disaster as it happened when it did. Approximately 17% of Americans witnessed the launch live, while 85% of Americans heard of the news within 1 hour of the event. According to a study, only 2 other times in history up to that point had news of an event disseminated so fast - the first being the announcement of JFK's assassination in 1963, the second being news spread among students at Kent State regarding the news of FDR's death in 1945. It has been estimated at the time that nearly 48% of 9-13 year olds witnessed the event in their classrooms, as McAuliffe was in the spotlight. The 25th Space Shuttle mission altered the history of manned space exploration and represented the first loss of an American crew during a space mission (Apollo 1 was during a training exercise). Christa McAuliffe was slated to be the first teacher in space for the Teacher in Space Program. As her maximum altitude was ~65000ft (12.31 miles), she never made it to space. That title was given to Barbara Morgan of STS-118 aboard the shuttle Endeavour in August 2007, 22 and a half years after the Challenger Disaster ...
I made this video for the 7 astronauts..they died,but they'll live forever in our hearts.
This is news coverage from the day the challenger exploded, plus a little bit about the astronauts.
This video is from when ABC News first announced that the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded.
The last shuttle flight of Columbia
Grammy winner Patti LaBelle singing "Way Up There," Tena Rix Clark's song originally written for NASA's Centennial of Flight observance in 2002, at the memorial service for the crew of the destroyed space shuttle orbiter Columbia's final mission, STS-107. The service took place at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC, USA on 6 February 2003. The video intercuts scenes from the memorial with footage of the doomed astronauts before and on their final flight. I absolutely defy you to watch this and not bawl like a newborn, as I did. Publicly available online at www.NASA.gov. IN MEMORY FOREVER HONORED: Lt. Col. Michael Anderson, USAF, Payload Commander Capt. David Brown, USN, Mission Specialist Kalpana Chawla, PhD, Mission Specialist Capt. Laurel Salton Clark, USN, Mission Specialist Col. Richard "Rick" Husband, USAF, Mission Commander Cmdr.
