    Jan 28, 1985: I was one of the accident investigators. NASA knew there were serious problems but launched anyway. @NASA wanted publicity & the press was leaving after waiting a couple days. Well, they got their publicity....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4JOjcDFtBE …

        A year or two before that they were drumming the old breed out. Gene Kranz told my grandfather "We don't need old solutions for new problems"

        My grandfather drove one of them to the airport for the flight to this mission. Brings tears to my eyes.

        Both Challenger and Columbia were accidents waiting to happen. NASA never should have launched that rocket when the ambient temperatures outside were below freezing as they were at the launches of Challenger and Columbia.

        The worst day of junior high. I felt my heart try to leap out my throat when I saw it happen.
