During the description of the videotaped exchange on board Columbia, the phrase "with flames already visible outside the Orbiter window" makes it appear as if the videotape captures the start of the shuttle's disintegration. According to NASA's website, which has the tape available for viewing, the actual break-up did not begin until about 4 minutes after the tape ended; the "flames" were in fact plasma flashes and other artifacts caused by normal reentry. I removed the sentence because it gives the wrong impression about the tape and would require some detailed explaination. Sufficient to say it was recorded during reentry. 23skidoo 19:55, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
Since the Purple Heart is awarded for actions in a conflict, I was surprised to see it in Brown's bio. So I looked for an indication (other than the four other Columbia astronauts wikipedia biographies) that the Columbia crewmembers had been awarded the medal. I didn't find any, and since they don't actually meet the legal criteria for the award, I'm removing it from all five biographies.
Another "drive-by" tag without opening up a Talk Page section about what was needed for additional references. The article has many citations - there certainly is no problem with the article as a whole in that regard. 104.169.17.29 ( talk) 02:35, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
