Do you think the Challenger was blown up intentionally? If so, why?
Well, certain videos of that assent, did show a torch like plume coming out of the SRB and aimed right at the CFT.
What? You understand that there's video of the o-rings failing, allowing the ignited propellant to escape through the failed seal and it's flame pointed exactly at the hydrogen storage tank?
How much more proof do you want? Also, I wouldn't call the o-ring theory anything less than a stinging indictment of NASA, it's management and quality control measures as well as several sub-contractors, including Morton-Thiakol.
You have got to be kidding me. It was well documented that the primary 0-rings failed repeatedly. The secondary 0-rings had never failed... up to Challenger. The failure rate was correlated to ambient temperature. This was the coldest launch by far. Thus the secondard o-rings failed.
The engineers responsible for the boosters said, "DON'T LAUNCH".
BEFORE the launch they predicted a 30% chance of failure. 30%! Would you drive out of your house with those odds? NASA did.
So, what, you presume someone asked for a Bud Light and someone pulled out a cigarette lighter instead?
You’ve got to be joking. I’ve seen similar o-ring failures on a smaller scale in gas distribution systems. Only difference is the ones I’ve seen caused a mess instead of exploding because there wasn’t an ignition source anywhere near it.
The o-rings weren’t a cover up.
The Challenger vids are pretty convincing. Look tough to fake.
