Talk:TDRS-B

Dire Misconception
"The Shuttle disintegrated 73 seconds after launch due to an o-ring failure in one of the Solid Rocket Boosters, killing the seven astronauts aboard." This is incorrect. The o-rings were NOT the cause of the Challenger's disintegration; it was a design flaw in the field joint in the SRB that NASA knew about even years before STS-1. Why everyone believes that it was simply a "malfunction" I will never understand.--134.71.249.134 (talk) 02:16, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
