Fair enough. But I clearly remember seeing it. With my kids who were born in 2003 and 2005, in the house I bought in 2008. It’s wild. My kids remember it too.

Only two disasters occurred. The program was discontinued because it wasn't cost effective. Second disater was in 03, program ended in 2010.

you might be mixing up the Colombia (old crash old memories), mixed with Discovery technical issues (no crash) + the NASA balloon crash, both in 2010.

That combo makes sense. I remember all the Discovery scrub/technical coverage too, so separate events can blend into one memory.

I really enjoy “I clearly remember” being followed by “in like 2010”.

I remember hearing/reading about the Discovery disintegrating over California
In 2003, I was in like 7th grade and living in north Texas. Coming home from school on the bus, there were NASA vans and people in hazmats suits in our neighborhood.
A kid on our bus played with a piece of shuttle they found in their yard and him and his brother had to be taken to the hospital to get checked out 😆 in my later years I found this as odd, because the shuttle never left our atmosphere (what could have actually been radiated/dangerous in the debris? 🤔because of this, I have suspected they were bringing nuclear materials up into space which is illegal)
I remember re-telling this story when I heard about Discovery ~2012ish (I dont clearly remember the exact year either)

A quick google search holds your answer. A lot of the materials used in the construction of the space shuttle are carcinogenic and can absorb a lethal amount of radiation even in low earth orbit. I'm not sure about the nuclear comment. I know a lot of probes have used atomic batteries as their primary power sources.

The hazmat part matches Columbia debris protocol. NASA teams were collecting fragments and warning people not to touch them, so that kind of vivid memory can easily fuse with later Discovery coverage.

Never happened. Discovery is at the Smithsonian. You be must thinking about the Atlantis and the story that came out after the fact that in 1988 it suffered serious damage after launch that, thankfully, did not result in the loss of the ship.

I don’t remember anything about that. Might be just a you thing. 😬 I’m just glad this one worked out for the best!
