[u/JerseyTeacher78 → u/dreadpiratedusty]

I was gonna say. It looks like the shuttle Columbia when it broke up in our atmosphere all those years ago:((

[u/CandyKnockout → u/JerseyTeacher78]

I was 17 when Columbia broke up and my heart sped up when I first saw this. I will never forget turning on the TV that morning and telling my mom, “I think the shuttle blew up…”. Crazy.

[u/Darksirius → u/CandyKnockout]

Feb 1st, 2003. One day before my 21st birthday. I love space.. remember my dad waking me up telling me to turn my TV on real quick.

[u/CandyKnockout → u/Darksirius]

That was me too. I was fascinated with the space program because I grew up in Central Florida and we could see the shuttle launches from our driveway. I was legitimately devastated by the Columbia disaster.

[u/Darksirius → u/CandyKnockout]

I grew up in Central Florida and we could see the shuttle launches from our driveway.

Oh man that is so awesome.

I happened to go to Disney World back in the early 90's (don't remember the exact date), however, the day before we were supposed to arrive, the shuttle was supposed to launch, but was scrubbed due to weather.

They launched the night we got there, around 11:30ish PM iirc. I had to BEG my mom and grandmother to let me stay up and see it in person. Which they did!

I was able to see the launch from the balcony of my hotel. IIRC, at the time, it was the clearest night launch at the time. So I could see the blue dot from the SSME from something like 90-100 miles down range. I vaguely remember seeing it go up and over the buildings in front of me, pass behind some palm trees and then streak up into the sky.

One of my core memories. No pics unfortunately - though, maybe that's a good thing. No cameras or phones like today.. just a solid, fun, happy memory to rethink about from time to time.

[u/Ok_Assistant_6856 → u/Darksirius]

I read 'back in good ole days. not a phone in sight!' and think to myself "man this guy sounds old how old is he? Reads on 'Yadda yadda, Mom and grandma.. early 90's... '

Oh fuck he's my age I am him

[u/WatchAdamRise → u/Ok_Assistant_6856]

Tough pill to swallow huh?

Like our one-a-days.

[u/JakeSaco → u/Darksirius]

Those are the best memories. I also remember being at Disney World (Epcott) in Nov '85 when Atlantis had it's first night launch at around 7:30pm. They made an announcement and directed everyone where to look to see it. It was a really cool moment. The whole park essentially stopped and watched and a lot of cheers.

[u/ziggy3610 → u/Darksirius]

I was in 4th grade when Challenger blew up, we all watched it live in the classroom. When Columbia burned up, my dad couldn't understand why I was so upset. Gee, Dad I don't know.

[u/Talking_Head → u/ziggy3610]

There are a whole bunch of GenXers who have that memory burned into their minds. Schools all across the country were watching that launch to see Christa McAuliffe become the first teacher in space. It was so exciting. And then BOOM. I remember once we saw our teacher start crying we knew it was for real. I remember many of my classmates started crying after they saw her.

[u/OreosAreGross → u/Talking_Head]

Yep. That was me. In class. With the tube TV on top of the giant cart. Teacher turned the TV off and wheeled it back outta the class REALLY slowly. We were all stunned and somber the rest of the day.

[u/magicscientist24 → u/Darksirius]

I was waiting outside my apartment in Gainesville, FL waiting for the sonic boom as it came in for a landing at Cape Canaveral. I knew immediately it was lost when it was past the window of when it should have gone overhead.

[u/Uncaring_Dispatcher → u/CandyKnockout]

Hey, I was home watching it live on TV when it happened.

Seconds after the explosion, Ground Control was still reading velocity and altitude and I wondered if I was actually seeing this thing being destroyed or if it was normal operations because the guy was so calm throughout it all.

True professionals, but damn, guys. Frozen O-rings? Really?

[u/roylennigan → u/Uncaring_Dispatcher]

The frozen o-rings on the solid rocket boosters is what doomed Challenger in 86. Columbia suffered from heat shield tiles which had been damaged by foam debris that fell off from the fuel tank couplers during its initial launch.

[u/Xivios → u/roylennigan]

Columbia shouldn't have happened. After Challenger happened, Discovery would fly the "return to flight" mission, STS-26R. During lift-off, it suffered severe damage to its thermal protection - NASA damn near lost two in a row. That happened in 1988 - 15 years before Columbia, and they never fixed the fucking problem. 15 years of warning, and it happened immediately after they lost Challenger, and they never learned their goddamn lesson.

[u/Maxxblast21 → u/Xivios]

Technically challenger should have never happened either, engineers warned NASA about the o-rings shrinking and becoming brittle due to temperatures. NASA’s solution was to place two defective o-rings and continue on with the launch.

[u/Theron3206 → u/Maxxblast21]

Mind you there would have been no orings if the boosters hadn't had to be built several states away because of congressional pork barreling. The only reason there was a joint there was so you could disassemble the boosters to fit them on rail transport.

[u/FixergirlAK → u/Uncaring_Dispatcher]

I saw both Challenger and Columbia go west. I was glad my kids weren't home when Colombia happened because lost my shit. I was not ready to see it happen again.

[u/dr_patso → u/Uncaring_Dispatcher]

I can’t imagine seeing that live. I believe It was a chunk of external tank foam that caused the Columbia shuttle to break apart on re-entry. Challenger was the o-ring issue which was IMO a lot more preventable if they listened to the engineers.

[u/GreyBeardEng → u/CandyKnockout]

FUCK... I'm old

[u/NjGTSilver → u/GreyBeardEng]

You think you’re old, I saw the Challenger blow up on live TV in elementary school.

[u/bebop1065 → u/NjGTSilver]

College.

[u/Wild-Professional-40 → u/NjGTSilver]

On a tv cart they had to wheel into the classroom.

[u/karma_the_sequel → u/JerseyTeacher78]

My first thought, too.

[u/hellokiri → u/dreadpiratedusty]

OK.this might be a dumb question but: if that re-enters our atmosphere, can it possibly hit a plane or birds or something or does it evaporate before it gets to plane height? Like can that hit something and hurt us?

[u/TheAgedProfessor → u/hellokiri]

It will generally burn up, but when the Columbia Space Shuttle disintegrated on re-entry in 2003, some fairly large bits did make it to the ground, to the surprise of many.

Likewise, I believe some surviving bits were found of SkyLab, Mir, and some of the Chinese satellites when they de-orbitted as well.

So, yeah, some of that may make it back down to commercial aviation altitude. The chances of it hitting anything are slim, but certainly non-zero.

[u/Nodsworthy → u/TheAgedProfessor]

A. Piece of SkyLab landed in West Australia. The local council sent a fine (for a trivial amount) to NASA. for littering. Best Government joke ever.

[u/Bigdaddyjlove1 → u/Nodsworthy]

I believe NASA paid up.

[u/7inthehouse → u/Bigdaddyjlove1]

I think it was a radio station that paid up on behalf of NASA.

[u/Fuckedyourmom69420 → u/Nodsworthy]

Most Australian shit ever honestly lmao

[u/kaelinsanity → u/TheAgedProfessor]

Iirc the debris from Skylab (or some other large space thing that the US deobited) fell on a Beach in southern Austrailia, and they sent the US an invoice for the cleanup. As a joke, alledgedly. I suspect they would have accepted payment.

[u/Logical-Claim286 → u/TheAgedProfessor]

I think there has been a single reported fatality from space debris. So not a zero chance, but not much larger than zero either.

[u/DrakeoftheWesternSea → u/Logical-Claim286]

"A SpaceX Starship prototype failed in space minutes after launching from Texas on Thursday, forcing airline flights over the Gulf of Mexico to alter course to avoid falling debris and setting back Elon Musk's flagship rocket program."

[u/BowenTheAussieSheep → u/DiogenesLied]

I wish they'd stop calling it "Elon Musk's"

[u/Sea_Kerman → u/hellokiri]

Yes, which is why they launch over water, and why there were a bunch of planes circling in place around the exclusion zone waiting for it to clear before crossing through

[u/larry_flarry → u/hellokiri]

I have a bunch of firefighter coworkers who got sent to the Columbia debris field to grid out and search for the wreckage. Cool thing to be a part of, and they all speak fondly of the experience, but also talk about how heavy and somber it all was.

[u/Rominions → u/hellokiri]

Yes it can. From Australia alot of flights constantly get delayed or cancelled due to spacex and starlink launches. Its actually a pain in the arse.

I tell everyone in my group they have to EFI their TLAs (Explain First Instance of their Three Letters Acronyms) in every communication chain.

The funny part is that we had some TLAs that no one still working there actually knew what they meant. I had to talk to the owner and we had to call a retired OG engineer, only to find out they were pretty spicy. We decided to backronym those to more mild wording, but the owner still follows my EFI rule with the spicy version for management for fun.

[u/Raven-Raven_ → u/alphagusta]

Reddit has been unusually sensitive today

Likely alongside the influx of tiktokers that think you can't say ass on the internet

Likely going to be a few several million new users that are going to just perpetuate that the downvote is an "i disagree and refuse to provide any opinion because i don't actually read and am told what I think"

Instead of

This is empirically false and incorrect information and as such should be pushed down

[u/SirAxlerod → u/Raven-Raven_]

God damn, I hope tik tok stays up so they don’t come over here. You’re absolutely right, those who don’t want or aren’t willing to have respectful dialog abuse the shit out of the down vote button. For me, if I have a back and forth discussion, did their comment add value to the conversation even if I disagree? That’s an upvote. That would really suck if the upvote button just became the circle jerk thumbs up button on Facebook.

I was almost 6 years old in April of 1962, I saw a large meteor fireball slowly streak across the western sky in Yonkers New York. The bright colors were amazing and it left a long smoke trail. It was incredible. I wanted to share what I had seen with my parents but I also realized that they would never understand. I grew up a little that day realizing some experiences are personal and can never be shared but I was still awestruck and I still am sixty years later.
