National Geographic STS-107 Special
Just watched the National Geographic Channel special on STS-107,
"Seconds to Disaster"... I really wish they hadn't chosen to use footage of the Flight 93 crash in Pennsylvania on September 11th as if it were wreckage of Columbia. Someone needs to point out that "Go at Throttle Up" is a confirmation that throttle-up went well, not a command to do it. The Shuttle does *not* reach escape velocity. There were a few other head-scratching moments, but otherwise it was pretty good. Some "actual footage" and "re-creation" disclaimers would have been smart. Brian |
