Columbia Shuttle Disaster

It's a constant reminder that space exploration is dangerous and I have the upmost respect for NASA and space travel and exploration. NASA should get more money IMO

Darkarrow · June 27, 2015, 08:17:03 PM

This makes me glad.

If NASA wants more money so badly, why doesn't NASA get a job or something and stop looking for handouts?

I read that NASA got less than one percent of the federal budget. I need to fact check that but regardless making a rocket is pretty hard. The amount of variables that could contribute to failure must be... astronomical.

Yes. I agree.

The one thing that genuinely depresses me is knowing that I likely won't live to see a colony set up on another panetary body, because we simply don't have the technology.

Millions of smart parts that have to be designed, engineered and tested to withstand millions of varibles in some of the most extreme environments

IKR it's a shame. I would of liked to see one of these

It's awful to watch. Isn't there an audio recording of their screams?

Or am I thinking of a different video

That's a different video.
Their audio cut out before any screams came.

I just watched Columbia and it's just "Roger, ah but..." and it cuts out...

Big Boss · June 27, 2015, 09:06:27 PM

That is not nice to listen to.

At all.

Better yet.

Why doesn't NASA discover a planet that has job trees?

Or money trees?

they could cut military spending budget by a little. The US can already btfo a lot of other countries.

I can still remember that day somewhat when it happened...

Bullshit,
If I can do it in kerbal by just using a kb + mouse budget, so can they with their high tech gadgets.
