The Space Shuttle Columbia’s First Launch

Columbia’s First Launch From 1981

A bit of classic controlled splode here as STS-1 heads into space.

Which is all well and good, but somebody needs to explain to me why this is categorized under “Howto & DIY” on YouTube…

Ooo! I know that one. It’s because the boneheads at YouTube deleted their “Science and Tech” category, and all the content got moved to “HowTo and DIY.” Personally, I’d have gone with “Auto and Vehicles” or “Travel,” but the switch probably happened after this video was posted.

Oh well. Part of me was hoping there was a follow-up video somewhere with “How to do this in your backyard!” Of course, then that would be a remake of SALVAGE 1.
