Milkman 1 Posted February 1, 2003 I was listening to radio this morning and just learned about it. This is really horrible. Supposidly during liftoff, a piece of insulation broke off and hit the wing, but NASA engineers said there was nothing to worry about. I guess they were wrong...

edc 0 Posted February 1, 2003 I don't think there is any audio of the actual explosion yet, since I've not heard it on the news, though they have said that people reported hearing a rumble or a boom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sseagle 0 Posted February 1, 2003 Man, and I was having a good day. Those damn tiles were what did it, you see it coasting level, then a seperation of something, then it pitched up momentarily, pitched down and went in.

Milkman 1 Posted February 1, 2003 I was having a great day too, I was going to buy my airsoft gun but thats a thing of past now. But the theory I have heard on TV and what I have contructed is: During Liftoff, a peice of insulation hit the wing, NASA engineers said it would have no major effect. During reintry, a part of the wing ripped off (You can see something fall off before the whole thing vaporized) The loss of the object caused the shuttle to either A. Dip in at an angle too low or B. Begin a roll that exposed the unprotected top of the shuttle to the atmoshpere. The loss of the object caused the entire breakup of the shuttle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FSPilot 0 Posted February 1, 2003 Why are they worried about fuel though? The oribiter is a glider, it uses up most of it's fuel during launch. This is a pretty horrible event, my thoughts and prayers are with them and their families. And I doubt this is terrorism, but I just don't know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ralphwiggum 6 Posted February 1, 2003 my condolences to all those astonauts's family. it was only a few days ago when Challenger took lives of astronauts 17 years ago. piece of foam fell down and thought that was ok? geeze..... edit: year approximation of Challenger accident Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FSPilot 0 Posted February 1, 2003 Well the big cheeses at NASA ignored their engineers when they warned them about the O-ring on the Challenger. Maybe they were doing the same? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
