The Challenger: What's Wrong with this Picture?

[AV1611VET]

Please take a look at this picture of the crew of the Challenger -- (God rest their souls) -- boarding:

Notice that there is not ONE SINGLE LOOK of concern on anyone's face?

Why is this?

Despite the theories of Bob Ebeling, Allan McDonald and Roger Boisjoly, who tried to stop the launch, not one of these seven look the least bit concerned.

Were they sequestered from the facts put forth by these three men?

Astronauts are all exceptionally brave people is a part of the situation.

Flogging a dead horse as per usual.

Perhaps they were planning on returning?

When you create stuff you bring the possibility that it goes wrong.

Look at humanity before the great flood. God's creation went totally haywire, according to the story.

When you create stuff you bring the possibility that it goes wrong.

What about anyone who ignores that possibility?

What is the point of this thread? Seriously?

It appears that three men tried to prevent seven people from carrying out a mission; but said three men were outvoted by others who kept these mens' concerns from reaching these seven people.

And? Why not just actually state that as the fact that it is instead of this asinine question from the beginning.

I think only one astronaut in history has gone into space, knowing they won't come back and that was the Russian cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov, who took the place of Yuri Gagarin on the Soyuz 1 rocket.

Perhaps you would care to answer the question in your own words?

Or did I do well enough?

Or maybe someone knows something we don't?

Yes, they expected to come back.

Now, what's your magical 'GOTCHA!' that proves that all science is evil and wrong unless they follow your Bolean standards?

Evidently you don't understand my point.

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

Evidently you don't understand my point.

Then maybe just SAY what you're point is instead of dancing around the point.

This will just end up in another "SCIENCE CAN TAKE A HIKE!" thread.

I could actually caption that picture:

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?

Then talk all day about what's wrong with it.

You tell me what's wrong with it.

Generally not smart and not moral.

But all activities come with risk.

Thanks for the QED

May God grant them eternal rest.

they were probably too excited for their new adventure and did not know what lay ahead of them

Here we go again with the science bashing.
While you want to blame scientists for the disaster Bob Ebeling ultimately blamed God.

Ebeling blamed himself for failing to convince Thiokol executives and NASA to wait for warmer weather.
"I think that was one of the mistakes God made," Ebeling told me in January. "He shouldn't have picked me for that job."

I'm not sure they even SUSPECTED anything was wrong.
