When someone dies but no other hole quite fits. Here you will find many, many heart attacks but also poisonings, drug overdoses, strangulations, and other less conventional losses of life.

I thought they said we have a cabin fire. I’m obsessed with space with eerie shit like this.

But you wouldnt want to be in number 1. You'd naturally want to wait until number 7 or 8, until they work out the kinks and that

Hahah, tell that to the crew of The Challenger- that'd be like, Apollo 40-something if it was using the same naming convention.
Still some kinks to work out, apparently! Who knew launching people into fucking outer space would be so tricky?
The Challenger is the one where a defective O-ring led to the shuttle fucking EXPLODING. That's it. Everything else was done perfectly, the ship a marvel of engineering. But that ONE tiny part, no bigger than a hockey puck, was all it took for the whole thing to fail catastrophically.

Actually there are two o rings. A main and a backup. They are 12 feet in diameter. The reason they “failed” is that it was unusually cold before the launch and despite engineers directly telling supervisors that it was too cold, they launched anyway. The cold prevented the o rings from sealing properly so they go burned by escaping gases. Remarkably even though they failed, debris went into the gap and plugged the leak, until they went to throttle up and blew the debris out.

There' s also this one, claimed as Russian cosmonaut whom the radio transmission happened to be captured by two Italian brothers. I remember hearing about this for the first time as "desperate plea from space." Real or not, still terrifying for me.

Not that it would have made a difference in this tragedy, but I believe they added an escape hatch after this. Once again, operational blindness. Why would they ever need a hatch they could open from the inside?

They also switched from a purely oxygen cabin environment to a mixture with Nitrogen more similar to Earth's atmosphere. The pure oxygen environment in this instance was a massive accelerant for the fire.

Is this real?

Sounds real. I know the 3 astronauts burned to death in the Apollo 1 causple. They had been doing testing/training when the 100% oxygen atmosphere caught fire from a faulty wire spark. After this NASA stopped using 100% oxygen and went to a kid similar to what we breath on earth. Since it was pure oxygen it turned into a fireball.

Well, duuuh. Sounds absolutely retarded to have 100 percent oxygen in the cabin. What was the reason?

Well they did probably die quickly
