  1. its actually sadder the 7 occupants were most likely alive and only died after the shuttle hit the water at about 200mph killing everyone on impact there is clear evidence that everyone survived until the shuttle made landfall which imo is a way worse way to go out than being instantly vaporized

  2. so far i review myself as a poor low paid worthless citizen lol but a citizen nonetheless 🙂 Einstein got broken when he saw what US military had in mind. 🙂 it is callled killing spirit first 🙂

  3. i thought u guys had tested a few nukes lol. .. Yes i love her so much… to the sky and higher. But she is like u so i know 2 will be sad. I would do all for her If she had let me. But that pride of hers-. IS u mr jealous uglyness. stay in ur shithole vatican thx

  8. Wow . And Ii Thought The Challenger Explosion Was Inexplicable All These Years. I Always Marveled @ The Fact That Those Astronauts & Teacher And The Humongous Space Shop Just Disintegrated In 7 Seconds!

  9. My teacher was in first grade watching from outside. Then it happened. Tears. Then, my other teacher, Mr Steven's, said counselors had to come into the school for weeks because of how distraught and disturbing it was. The worst part is how those people were ALIVE until they crashed in the ocean

  10. I was 18 when this happened and live in Florida, I watched lift off on tv and the ran to my car to go to work knowing the road I travel I could actually see the shuttle traveling into orbit. When I reversed out of the driveway the radio announced the shuttle had exploded! I pulled back in ran inside to see and was in tears 😢😢 the shuttle program was a huge deal, My family had been Kennedy Space center multiple times. Sad day ☹️😔
