What Really Destroyed Columbia? #nasa #space #shorts

Description: On February 1, 2003, the Space Shuttle Columbia tragically disintegrated upon re-entry, leading to the loss of all seven astronauts on board. What caused this disaster? A small piece of foam insulation, traveling at over 500 mph, struck the shuttle’s left wing during launch, creating a tiny hole. This seemingly minor damage allowed superheated gases to seep in during re-entry, causing the shuttle to break apart in the sky. Watch to learn how such a small error led to one of NASA’s greatest tragedies, and how it changed space exploration forever.
