Anathema Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 It's really sad, also for the Iraelians who wanted to welcome back their astronaut as a hero when he would return.This is the 2nd shuttle that blew up. The second American shuttle yes, but Russia lost at least one I know of, the October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 yeah, but that ain't a space shuttle.and yes, the Columbia was the first Space Shuttle, however it's life expectancy was 4 times higher as it was now.... so around 80 years.and like i said, it probably caused by the collison with its own fuel tanks, and with the return on earth when it became REALLY hot, the shuttle blew up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 I thought it was a space shuttle, but either way it doesn't make it any less tragic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 but isnt it odd how the other two nasa accidents happened on somewhere between jan 26-29 and this happened on jan 1?they have bad luck this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dude_Doc Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 Here is a scary link:http://www.solutionvii.com/FloridaLanding.htmlThis is an article, written 30 minutes before Columbia blew up. Apparently, the story was already finished of the landing. Now, this is very strange! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
