from space shuttle columbia as columbia continues to orbit the earth at an altitude of about 150 statute miles. columbia, houston, laurel, you re loud and clear on air to ground one. -the second day, i drive in to work kind of euphoric because another launch, another successful launch. you know, the flight director s office and the mission control center in houston is working with them. they re everything s good. i walked into the analysis lab to start reviewing film from the launch. we started the film at the beginning. [ rockets roaring ] we re watching this liftoff. you see the roll maneuvers, beautiful blue sky. we do the normal review, and we start pointing out all the things that we normally see. and we got to 81 seconds, and then we see this object come off of the external tank area. it moved down, and then striked the vehicle and explode into a white cloud. my reaction was, oh, shit. - you ll always find me sunny side up you ll always find me sunny side
what does this mean? so, i e-mailed paul shack. i e-mailed, why? did you do anything about it? no reply, no reply, no reply. quiet. so i called him, and i got him. -he was shouting at me. [ chuckles ] can t call it an argument because an argument takes two people shouting, and just one was shouting in this case. -i asked him, why are you ignoring? you didn t reply to my e-mail. why? i was asking why you didn t respond. now i have you. -well, i got sarcastic. i said, don t be a chicken little. -paul shack treated me as if i were the well-intentioned but silly chicken. and the lesson is chicken little is not to be trusted. chicken little always gets excited. i was very upset and angry and disappointed
So i called Air Force Base and said, i know i made this request. Um, turns out we dont need it. Forget i asked about it. I was told that we would not be getting images. When i read it, i got angry and confused. What does this mean . So, i emailed paul shack. I emailed, why . Did you do anything about it . No reply, no reply, no reply. Quiet. So i called him, and i got him. He was shouting at me. [ chuckles ] cant call it an argument because an argument takes two people shouting, and just one was shouting in this case. I asked him, why are you ignoring . You didnt reply to my email. Why . I was asking why you didnt respond. Now i have you. Well, i got sarcastic
I said, dont be a chicken little. Paul shack treated me as if i were the wellintentioned but silly chicken. And the lesson is chicken little is not to be trusted. Chicken little always gets excited. I was very upset and angry and disappointed with my engineering organizations, top to bottom. Theres a ticking clock. We were losing time. This is an email i drafted. In my humble technical opinion, this is the wrong and bordering on irresponsible answer, not to request additional imaging help from any outside source. Remember this, Nasa Safety posters everywhere around stating if its not safe, say so. yes, its that serious. I felt the need to draft that email
