Hello! Today Mr.Dignam wanted me to write about NASA’s space shuttle programs.
There have been many downfalls and wonder full things happen.
Like in 1986 the Challenger Space shuttle program went terribly wrong when one of the O rings in the full capsells let go witch cause gas to leak out which cause an explosion which killed all 7 astronauts on board.
In 2003 the Columbia space shuttle took flight giving 15 years of success after the Challenger incident when a piece of debris hit the left wing of the shuttle when taking of into space. They crew of 7 successfully made into orbit around earth. Then after a few orbits around Earth NASA decided to return the astronaut’s to earth thinking that the pieces of debris would not be a big deal. When entering the atmosphere of earth the astronauts noticed that the left side of the space shuttle was more hot then the right side. The space shuttle then exploded in Louisiana on its way back to the Kennedy launch pad the space shuttle then went on to crash the remaining parts into Louisiana.
I’m glad no more people were killed during the accident and I’d like to take this as a learning experience.
And thanks to our mistakes of the past we were able to learn from our mistakes and improve our equipement to go to space with.
That’s it!
