Yea, i saw that one too... that was a bit creepy
Which video, on YouTube or somewhere else?
I've been looking for a video about this since a few people made similar comments on a Daily Mail article on Challenger maybe 6 months to a year ago.

Discovery had the same fault on the previous launch but slag plugged the leaks. Challenger had slag plugging the leaks until they hit a violent slip stream which lodged it loose. It was a flaw NASA knew about but discredited to keep their success front page and funds pouring in.

Man, he had me at Rocket Surgeon but Jesus Christ that's impressive.
He's done several interviews and appearances I've seen that are very "wink/nod" on things NASA can't be happy with him talking about. Looking at that resume gives him even more credence.

Your English teacher would be so disappointed that you're such a failure. Haha.

Dr. Musgrave must have gotten that M.A. In Literature from UHCL during his spare time when at Johnson Space Center.

That is correct, also wiki didn't elaborate on what the was doing at Denver Health Center, but from 1967 to 1989 on weekends he was flying to Denver and pulling shifts as a trauma surgeon. He also had more pilot in command flight hours in the T-38 jet, and more total flight hours than any other astronaut, but he was never a military pilot, as part of his astronaut training he completed Air Force undergrad pilot training as a civilian, one of only 3 or 4 people to have every done so. Remarkable life for someone that started as a high school drop out with a GED.

And sadly, she did not bang a teen in space.

This radar image reminded me of my personal experiences from the day the Columbia broke up. I was working as an ATCS in the TRACON(radar room) at the Baton Rouge airport, and was handling a flight that departed BTR for DFW when the accident happened. Right before I was going to switch them to Houston Center I was given very limited information about the accident and relayed it to the flight crew. I told them to use caution, the Space Shuttle Columbia reportedly broke up on reentry over east Texas and that there is a debris field stretching from east Texas, over Toledo Bend, towards Alexandra. Their flight plan was taking them over AEX and it was a sickening feeling that I couldn't give them more information. Their response was a long Rodger and the frequency got quiet for an extended period of time.
A few hours after the accident I was at the LSU baseball game and noticed that the debris field was still visible overhead. A very sad day indeed.

I've always been moved by the guy who calmly states "Obviously a major malfunction"

when Columbia happened
I saw metallic reflections (from Alexandria) in the sky - almost certainly the debris cloud. It was very sobering.

There's a really good video of NASA's technical analysis of the Challenger disaster. Kind of long but very interesting.
