Challenger Explosion

Published on February 10, 2010 in Technology. 0 Comments Tags: , , , .

Continuing to read the book that inspired the Patriot Missile post, I looked up a YouTube video for the Challenger space shuttle explosion and found the above result. I know that this was a fairly significant moment in our space program and the collective conscious of the United States, but I’m not sure I had seen until this morning.

Watching the video, you quickly understand the confusion toward the end as the rockets go astray and the exhaust clouds come to a halt. It’s worth watching this to see an event that happened before I and many of my readers were born or too young to remember. Also, to put a closer understanding to a significant event in recent history.
