STS-51L Challenger - Launch Coverage

Please read this description:

January 28th 1986 - 11.32am EST
STS-51L - Challenger
Onboard are astronauts Dick Scobee, Mike Smith, Judy Resnick, Ellison Onizuka, Ron McNair, Greg Jarvis of RCA and Teacher in Space Christa McCauliffe.

This is the edited launch coverage. I have used various sources of video/audio/photos to portray the countdown and build up to the launch and the subsequent accident.
The video record is not complete. There are various shots of the pad from that morning and none of it synchs straight to the PAO commentary. I have tried to do this as best I can. I have used some of the FD loop after launch on a seperate channel.

The video starts with a view of the preperation of the launch vehicle and rollout of Challenger to the pad.
There is some footage of the flight crews arrival at the Cape - NOTE the audio will not synch to the video....and I re-recorded it too!
There then follows the breakfast scenes and the walkout to the astro bus which, in turn, is followed by the crew egress - this is incomplete and I have left it as was released by NASA.
The countdown audio can be found at the NASA archive. I have edited bits of the audio at the beginning of the video to fit in spaces - so you will hear the LCC controllers etc. For the actual count from T-9 min I have left it unedited from the original, that is how it was broadcast on the day.
There are various film sources available for the accident and launch sequence. Many are run at slow speeds due to the analysis that was done and I have used three seperate ones and have nearly managed to speed them up and synch them. This sequence is not perfect by any means but is approximated.
I used photos to fill in the end part just to remind us all that we are all human!

All photos/video and audio is courtesy NASA.

This video is a tribute to the Challenger 7 - Godspeed the crew of STS-51L.
