[intro]
launch commentator harris:
t+minus 10, 9, 8, 7, 6
we have main engines start
4, 3, 2, 1
and liftoff… liftoff off the 25th sp+ce shuttle mission and it has cleared the tower!

d+ck scobee:
houston, challenger. roll program

richard covey:
roger roll, challenger
steve nesbitt:
good roll program confirmed. challenger now heading downrange

engines beginning throttling down now, at 94 percent. normal throttle for most of the flight 104 percent

[verse 1]
i’m floating high through the sky
past the moon and into a guessing game
and i’m thinking how small the world seems now
things fly by, and only
consequence seems to pass mе by
i am so small
and so is my
misery

[chorus]
i’m getting away from this world
i’m trying as hard as i can
i’m getting away from this world
i’m trying as hard as i can

nеsbitt:
we’ll throttle down to uh, 65 percent shortly
engines are at 65 percent. three engines uh, running normally
three good fuel cells. three good apus
velocity 2,257 feet per second, altitude 4.3 nautical miles, downrange distance 3 nautical miles

[verse 2]
this oxygen sets diamonds in my mind
the missionary screams murder through my blood
the pirate’s treasure seems closer still somehow
another galaxy flies by
i never seem to touch them, i wonder why
i am so small
and so is my
misery

[chorus]
i’m getting away from this world
i’m trying as hard as i can
i’m getting away from this world
i’m trying as hard as i can

nesbitt:
engines are throttling up. three engines now at 104 percent

covey:
challenger, go at throttle up

scobee:
roger, go at throttle up
nesbitt:
one minute 15 seconds. velocity 2,900 feet per second. altitude 9 nautical miles. downrange distance 7 nautical miles

[verse 3]
this nightmare screams in my sleep at night
a sound sweet poetry in my ear, death looms
up to greet me, open arms and open wide
a deep black hole sucks me closer
and closer until i hit the sun
i am so small
and so is my
misery

[chorus]
i’m getting away from this world
i’m trying as hard as i can
i’m getting away from this world
i’m trying as hard as i can

nesbitt:
flight controllers here are looking very carefully at the situation. obviously a major malfunction

we have no downlink
we have a report from the flight dynamics officer that the vehicle has exploded. the flight director confirms that. we are looking at checking with the recovery forces to see what can be done at this point
