    It’s sickening to know what really happened. Flights safety was not their top priority. Two of the engineers refused to sign off on the go decision but were over written by management. Those individuals who didn’t listen to their own experts, were never held accountable and went on to have a long business career.

    I was in New Jersey watching this and I did not know exactly what it was that I was actually seeing and it really didn't say again until I moved to Virginia with my grandmother and the students in my new school started making fun of the word NASA meaning "Need Another Seven Astronauts" and it really got under my skin and made me mad and I stand up for them and told them that that was mean and they told me that it was all a joke and I told him you don't joke about people dying and then that seem to be when people started hating me... Seeing this video all over again finally made me feel the impact when I seen that the students were watching their favorite teacher go up in space and everything exploded and that's when I started crying. 😢 I hope the friends and families of these seven brave people in strangers have recovered and if not I pray for the comfort 🙏🏾
