    All 17 Astronauts lost whilst onboard a Spacecraft happened within six days in diffrient years.

    left to right: Gus Grissom,Ed White,Rodger Chaffee,

    January 28th 1986:STS-51L launched fom pad 39b carrying the first civilion Astronaut,She was called Christa Mc Auliffe.She was not NASA,s first choice as in fact NASA had chosen the singer John Denver on the grounds that he could express 'wonderment' so well in his songs.the then president Reagan overturned NASA,s choice.
    Here is a song he wrote for the crew of Challenger.Really difficult to find songs about the wonders of space,the Video contains great imagery but thankfully not the actual explosion.



    Columbia was lost on Feb 1st 2003.

    Ok, time to revive this thread. There is nothing more beautiful and awe inspiring (to me anyway) than beautiful pics, documentaries and videos of space exploration, astronomy and science. I hope the Mod's don't mind me attempting to resurrect this thread. :)

    Last night I watched the film "Space Cowboys" With Clint Eastwood, Tommy Lee Jones, James Garner and Donald Sutherland.

    Yes I know you may or may not like the film, but the point is, they used coverage of a Shuttle Launch to double for a umm Shuttle Launch:pac:

    Anyway it was short but good.:)
