How did the astronauts die in the Challenger disaster?
There was a small flame on the ET (External Tank) Space Shuttle Challenger was so high into the sky at that time that mission control could not see it. They continued for throttle up which releases more power to help Challenger get through the atmosphere. Dick Scobee said: "Roger. Go for throttle up." That was the last that was heard. My guess is the ET, which contains very flammable liquids, caught on fire. It burned the shuttle and everyone in it. No one can be certain because the last words were confirming throttle up. Then nothing. Hope this helps! -- That is not quite what happened, though that makes sense from looking at the video. To answer the original question, there is evidence that would indicate the astronauts died after falling from 9 miles up. The oxygen levels in their tanks indicate that they were alive for a long time after the explosion. The explosion was due to on O-ring problem that engineers had been telling management about since 1977 (9 years prior to launch). The day before the launch, there were 4 engineers basically screaming at management to not launch, but they did anyway. The two main factors contributing to the failure were flawed design and cold temperature (they launched on a day that was 19 degrees F colder than the engineers had specified).
Did Athena die from a green explosion?
No, the Greek goddess Athena was immortal and could not die.
What aspects of NASA practice revealed in the aftermath of the Columbia disaster suggest that the changes sought in the aftermath of the Challenger disaster were not sustained?
The commission's recommended that NASA needed to restructure its management so that change could take place. NASA's management needed to tighten its control to establish higher safety regulations for shuttle safety. Both the Challenger and Columbia had safety issues that were either overlooked or brushed under the rug. NASA also had major communication problems before, during, and after both disasters. The lack of communication posed a significant safety issue for everyone in the space program.
Could the Space Shuttle Challenger have been saved?
yes if it hadnt been said to throttle up or not to be launched that day because of the high winds!
What happened to the close out crew of the challenger astronauts?
They didn't die during the blowup, they died when the part that they were in hit the water so hard that anybody could survive-

What could have been done to prevent in 1884 Bhopal?
Better management could have prevented the Bhopal gas tragedy. It happened in 1984 not 1884.
Why should you not throw small pieces of sodium into a sink in the laboratory?
Sodium is a very reactive metal. Hence it reacts with water to form hydrogen gas and a large amount of heat. This makes hydrogen gas to catch fire. And hence explosion could result. Thus to prevent explosion, sodium pieces should not be thrown in sink and sodium is stored under kerosene to prevent its reaction.
What is opposite of candidate?
Could be a contestant, adversary, a challenger or rival
Why do petrol tankers have a length of metal chain?
The chain is there to prevent static electricity building-up and causing a spark that could cause an explosion. Any static electricity is led down the chain to earth.
Could you get a 426 Hemi in a 71 Challenger non RT?
sure, it will fit as the hemi was an option on the 71 challenger but back in 71 you had to get the R/T to get the hemi.
Could the universe have spawned from a singularity explosion?
Yes.
Is the management of soil to prevent its destruction?
No. Soil cannot be destroyed. It could be converted through nuclear or high thermal reaction, chiefly to glass. Soil Management or Soil Conservation speaks of protecting or improving soil quality or fertility.
WHAT happens when acid zinc chloride is added to silver nitrate?
There is a big explosion. If you are anywhere near the explosion, you could get melenosis
Briefly describe the steps in the risk management?
The steps in risk management assessment include identifying the hazards, specifying who could be harmed and how, and figuring out how to prevent it. Make note of the information, then put a plan into place. Review and update the plan as needed.
What does a 1970 Dodge Challenger get for mileage?
It depends on which engine you have in the 1970 Challenger. If you had the 318ci, you could expect to get 11 - 14 mpg. With the 426ci hemi or the 440ci six pack, you could expect 6 - 10 mpg, depending on how hard you drove it.
