Our Challenger Disaster episode is out today. All 7 crew perished in the disaster. We would like to say that NASA took responsibility for their negligence, but they didn't. It would take whistleblowers and a committee to uncover the cover up. #HistoricallyHigh #ChallengerDisaster

Tomorrow we will be headed back into space...kinda. Apollo 11 was a triumph. Apollo 13 was a remarkable rescue. The Challenger Disaster was a tragedy. A very very avoidable tragedy. Find out why as we discuss what happened. #HistoricallyHigh #NASA #ChallengerDisaster

...the parochial school I attended, when someone, I don’t remember who, yelled out to those of us outside at recess that the space shuttle had just blown up.

The Challenger Explosion Wasn’t Actually An Explosion Today marks 32 years since the Challenger Disaster. On January 28th, 1986, The Space Shuttle Challenger was destroyed 73 seconds into it’s 10th mission due to one of its solid rocket boosters…

Since it's the 40th anniversary of the #ChallengerDisaster I thought I'd go back to this particular article which explains that the Challenger "explosion" was not actually an explosion -- and per the official investigation. www.xadara.com/2018/01/28/t... #challenger

I've just found out that the Challenger Disaster happened 40 years ago today.

FOUND: Neil Armstrong’s Secret Stash & The Challenger Wreckage Neil Armstrong was the ultimate rule follower. So why did he hide a bag of "stolen" moon gear in his closet for 40 years? Space history is usually written in textbooks, but sometimes, it’s found in a dusty closet or at the bottom of the ocean. In this episode, we explore the incredible stories of lost space relics that resurfaced decades later to rewrite history. We start with the secret life of Neil Armstrong. After his passing, his widow Carol discovered a white stowage bag—known as the McDivitt Purse—hidden in their home. Inside wasn't just junk; it was the 16mm Data Acquisition Camera that filmed the lunar landing—a priceless artifact that was technically supposed to be left on the Moon to save weight. Why did he keep it? And how did he get it back to Earth? Then, we fast forward to the haunting 2022 discovery off the Florida coast. We discuss how divers searching for WWII planes accidentally found a massive segment of the Space Shuttle Challenger, resting on the ocean floor since the 1986 tragedy. As we approach the 40th Anniversary of the Challenger disaster, we examine the emotional weight of these artifacts. From "contraband" souvenirs to tragic debris, these objects bridge the gap between the stars and the human experience. In this episode, we uncover: - The Armstrong Secret: The contents of the hidden Apollo 11 purse. - The Rules of Weight: Why NASA wanted that camera left on the Moon. - The Challenger Find: How a TV crew found the shuttle 36 years later. - The Legacy: What these objects tell us about the cost of exploration. 🎧 Press play to uncover the secrets NASA didn't put in the museum.

Uh-oh- le ultime parole del pilota Smith. La NASA sapeva tutto, ma cosa successe davvero in quei tre minuti orribili? Il caso Challenger come non l'avete mai sentito.

Actor Claude Rains, somewhere under a red beard and glasses.

The 1960 film version of The Lost World was one of the movies I loved as a kid but today realize is awful on every level, despite a talented cast. Claude Rains is unrecognizable in it, which is just as well. I'm sure he wished he was still invisible. #ChallengerDisaster

Today is the 39th anniversary of the #ChallengerDisaster. Like many, my entire class watched it live when, at 73 second into flight, a booster failed causing a fatal explosion, killing all 7 crew. Having #NASA & #Lockheed family, and being who I am, this has always been a difficult day since.

Being in a classroom on January 28, 1986, was supposed to be an exciting day. My teacher wheeled in a TV on a metal cart. A buzz of energy in air as we were going to watch history happen live.
