To me, this was the milestone when America stopped being superior. A corporation decided to risk lives to maintain their government contracts, essentially defrauding the government, and not one person was arrested… Morton Thiokol even retained their contracts, provided that they cease punishing the whistleblower. It showed now matter how badly you messed up, how many lives it cost, or how much it tarnished your country… as long as your job title was executive enough, you could escape a prison sentence for your involvement in the crime.
Lessons learned damm just follow the experts advice the ones who build the equipment
How scary, to watch this happen live while in school. I remember being in 1st grade and our teaching turning on the tv when the towers were going down. How traumatic
Can't believe this happened 35 years ago. It doesn't feel like it's been that long ago.
I was born in 87 so I have no idea of this happening
Not trying to provide an excuse for NASA or anything, but I think people often forget how intricate and difficult it space programs are - you are trying to get huge hunks of mass to go at amazing speeds so that they can escape the gravitational pull of the earth, we should always be super vigilante and awe-inspired by these amazing feats. There is a CNN program called Cold War that details the US and USSR space programs respectively, it’s a amazing series I highly recommend everyone watch it.
I wouldn’t call it an accident. It was haste, public image, and preference of money to human life. They were warned, repeatedly, tempted fate, and lost. NASA should be ashamed.
i was in the navy on a submarine off the coast where i seen it off the deck of the sub. they should have fired all of them and not let them get any parachute money
Great episode! Especially timely given the recent news about the FIU bridge collapse.
I was 3 when I saw it, on C-SPAN. I'm almost 40 now, and I still cry when ground control gives that fatal order.
Watched this in elementary school. Even at that young age, I knew right away what happened. RIP Challenger crew. We still remember
We all watched the Challenger accident happen live in middle school. I'll never forget it.
