What Happened To The Bodies Of The Columbia Crew?

Only a select few get the chance to explore the mysteries of outer space — but tragedy and loss are universal. After the crew of the Columbia met a shocking fate in early 2003, the brave men and women above the doomed shuttle were put to rest as heartbreak swept the nation.

My dad worked for a NASA contractor for 40 years. He always said that the heat shields were designed poorly and NASA refused to take into account all the near misses they had before. Ice damage, foam insulation flying off and doing damage, as soon as Challenger happened he called it, same with Challenger. He was proud when he got to help build the ISS. When the Russians joined, my dad said, “Christ, NO! Everything they build catches on fire!!”. He was right. The Russians had a fire aboard the ISS. This is how he explained NASA to me: the people that actually BUILD the stuff always express caution, the higher ups always want to go full throttle. Every time I see the ISS pass, I think of my dad. Miss you, Dad. ❤

As of 2024 there as YET to be another shuttle tragedy? Well, Duh. Shuttles were retired in 2011.

Nasa management failed both shuttle missions.

The shuttle wouldn't have touched down in Texas. It was heading to Cape Kennedy in Florida.

The 2nd worst thing to happen with the word “Columbi” in it.

[cabbitkisser]

make you wonder how much of the shuttle that hasn't been found yet. i know there are some people who found parts of the shuttle & kept it

[ryananderson]

This is what happens when you cut corners and go with the cheapest bid on contractors for inspection and construction

[avawarrior]

I remember this happening near us, we couldn't go outside and when we did we saw debris from the shuttle

[silvereagle]

Um, Columbia didn't explode, she simply broke apart.

Traveling at 25 times the speed of sound at 400, 000 feet, what was left of the astronauts?

Not much but DNA and a few bone fragments.

It would be awesome if you fact checked your info before you posted these video's, the shuttle didn't explode, it essentially disintegrated/broke up on reentry, which was ALL over the news subsequent to the event, considering we live in the internet age, where it would take no more than 10 seconds to access literally everything you need to know about the Columbia disaster I have absolutely no idea how you confused the shuttle exploding when it actually broke apart/disintegrated..

[Thunder_Dome]

I remember the sonic boom from when it flew over Dallas. There won't be another shuttle disaster. They are museum pieces now.

[NCR]

Columbia did not explode, it disintegrated!
