It has been posted on the other thread that the last voice comm was the pilot giving an instrument reading before the sound faded to static. At Mach 18, whatever went wrong likely became fully catastrophic in less than a second.

No doubt you are correct, however, if debris had hit one of the wings on take off, the crew had to be concerned about that during the mission and it had to be an issue during the entire flight. Do you or anyone else know if the crew and ground control had been discussing this issue during the mission

Thanks to anyone that can answer this.......
