Shuttle Video
 

That was strange watching the crew video made a few minutes before they were blown apart.

Wonder if their suits kept any alive. They say they died instantly, but when you think about it that video survived the blast so maybe they did too for a few secs or mins. Can you imagine going from laughing in a comfortable cabin to kaboom.

You never know what surprises life has in store for you.

Anyone have a link to the video? CNN has it but I don't want to pay to watch their video. I'm a cheap bastard.

Yeah, NASA has it for free but you need Real Player to watch it so I guess I won't be seeing it.

... the uncut version is for auction at ebay ...

I saw it on the news today... it was surreal, knowing what was going to happen. The plasma flashes were cool as shit, though.

don't wanna see it. my hometown buried Rick Husband a week ago. :(

What's in that version?? I wonder if any of the shuttle guys have surfed porn sites from space? Be cool to get an astronaut looking at GFY and flipping the bird. :1orglaugh

Babe, those precious few who get to see the world from the perspective of space are blessed. I seriously doubt a porn site has any interest to a soul who has seen the earth from a million miles.

What the... :eek7

Anyone kind enough to convert it to a platform other than Realplayer? :thumbsup

agree with your sentiment here... but alas the shuttles orbit is around 115 to 400 statute miles, not quite a million miles....

ahhh. you caught me. i was trying to be poetic. :)
