40 years ago, the Challenger shuttle disaster occurred
17% of the US population, including millions of schoolchildren, watched the shuttle explode live on television. Today, an image of the Challenger shuttle crew with six older people resembling astronauts added to it is widely circulated on the internet. A popular website specializing in the critical study of urban legends, rumors, dubious stories and other controversial information has a separate page dedicated to this image:
In which it turns out that African Americans Ronald McNair and Carl McNair are brothers, as well as Hawaiians Ellison Onizuka and Claude Onizuka - therefore their surnames coincide, and the names differ. But white people Sharon Christa McAuliffe and Sharon McAuliffe, Francis Richard Scobee and Richard Scobee, Michael J. Smith and Michael J. Smith, Judith Resnik and Judith Resnik are all just a little similar to each other persons, but have nothing to do with each other, except for the coincidence of their names and surnames.
Most likely, this is indeed the case, because if we consider the time and place of the events, interpreting this relationship between twins and full namesakes as ‘racial privilege to retain their original first and last names, and not just their last names’ may seem highly unethical (African Americans and Hawaiians were allowed to keep only their surname, while white people and Jewish women were allowed to keep both their surname and first name), in the event that the astronauts survived the disaster.
After analysing the surviving photos and video materials, some independent researchers concluded that the astronauts' namesakes not only have similar facial features, but even similar voices and even some facial expression, which is especially noticeable in the case of Yale professor Judith Resnik.
On this day six years ago, a YouTube user with the nickname starsnotfar432, impressed by the ambiguous image of the Challenger crew, recorded his meeting with Michael J. Smith, a retired professor and namesake of the shuttle pilot, directly asking him for his opinion on these rumours on the internet.
Is Challenger Pilot Michael Smith Still Alive? I tracked him down. You decide.
by starsnotfar432 on YouTubeIt is worth noting that some independent researchers have concluded that all shuttle launches took place without crews on board (with a media staging of a manned mission), similar to the unmanned flight of the Soviet Buran. In this case, the disaster 40 years ago may have been the result of an unforeseen technical malfunction, after which the astronauts who participated in the staging were forced to start new lives.
At the same time, some other independent researchers cite a number of arguments in favour of the shuttle disaster being a completely deliberate event, a so-called ‘forgery as covert operation’, and that the astronauts may have known in advance about their impending civil, but not biological, demise.
Despite the fact that on the very first day, the Hezbollah wing claimed responsibility for the disaster, during the investigation, the Canadian government concluded that the probable cause of the disaster was overload and icing of the wings, which had not been treated with de-icing fluid before take-off. The Canadian investigation ultimately failed to reach a unanimous conclusion. The US government did not consider the possibility of a terrorist attack. As details of the incident began to emerge, the press was full of headlines on the subject.
About a month and a half after the disaster in Gander, a shuttle exploded live on television. The attention of the press and the public was quickly shifted from the 256 military personnel who died to the seven astronauts who died in the shuttle (or, as some believe, may not have died at all). At the same time, the Iran-Contra affair, also known as Irangate, unfolded in the US over the following year.
As it later transpired, the 248 soldiers on board the aircraft that crashed in Gander were returning from a peacekeeping mission in Sinai, and 20 members of the crew belonged to an elite special forces unit known as Task Force 160, whose main specialisation was covert missions. It also emerged that three weeks before the disaster, faulty missiles had been sold to the Iranians.

The Space Shuttle Challenger disaster was a fatal accident in the United States' space program that occurred on January 28, 1986, when the Space Shuttle Challenger (OV-099) broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, killing all seven crew members aboard.

Are the Crew of the Exploded Challenger Space Shuttle Still Alive?
False

Right around the time of the Challenger explosion, an absolutely massive controversy was going on. It ended up being one of the greatest political scandals Washington DC has ever seen, something so huge that many thought it would bring down Ronald Reagan’s presidency and almost everyone involved with it.
It began with an air crash that isn’t nearly as well-known as the Challenger explosion, but was far more devastating.
On December 12, 1985, just a month before the Challenger explosion, a US military plane crashed 19 seconds after takeoff from Gander International Airfield in Newfoundland, Canada. All 256 people on board died, 8 crew members and 248 members of the Army’s 101st Airborne Division, making it the worst air disaster in US military history.
Despite the fact that on the very first day, the Hezbollah wing claimed responsibility for the disaster, during the investigation, the Canadian government concluded that the probable cause of the disaster was overload and icing of the wings, which had not been treated with de-icing fluid before take-off. The Canadian investigation ultimately failed to reach a unanimous conclusion. The US government did not consider the possibility of a terrorist attack.

The attention of the press and the public was quickly shifted from the 256 military personnel who died to the seven astronauts who died in the shuttle (or, as some believe, may not have died at all). At the same time, the Iran-Contra affair, also known as Irangate, unfolded in the US over the following year.
In May 1985, a mechanism was developed for the delivery of American weapons to Iran through Israel. On the Israeli side, Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres, Director General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs David Kimchi, and arms dealers A. Shvimmer and Y. Nimrodi participated in planning the delivery mechanism. On the American side, US National Security Council adviser Michael Ledeen and Oliver North participated in ensuring the operation.
As it later transpired, the 248 soldiers on board the aircraft that crashed in Gander were returning from a peacekeeping mission in Sinai, and 20 members of the crew belonged to an elite special forces unit known as Task Force 160, whose main specialisation was covert missions. It also emerged that three weeks before the disaster, faulty missiles had been sold to the Iranians.
As some American authors have noted:
Ask anyone about the Gander crash; few have heard of it. Ask them about Challenger; everyone knows it.
Eventually, details of Iran-contra came out, but they came to light almost a full year after the Gander crash had started to first reveal the scheme. One wonders if the Iran-contra story we were given was even the true, full story of what happened.

Although, wait, I admit that maybe you're not lying and you didn't make it up, but then you're not a human being, you're an AI.
Please tell me, are you a biological human being or not?
