Serious: NASA Live Feed when 12 Mile Space Tether Broke During Shuttle Mission (1996)

Audio is there, just takes a moment. For context, the Tether is 12.5 Miles long... some big Ice Particles there! The existence of plasma creatures is actually an area of scientific research. At first I thought spaceships but the plasmoid theory seems a little more likely. Ice particles was the official explanation. The "Tether Incident" occurred during the **STS-75** mission on **February 25, 1996**. At the time of the live NASA feed showing the tether breakage, the Space Shuttle *Columbia* was located at **2 degrees N latitude and 100.4 degrees W longitude**, orbiting at an altitude of approximately **296 kilometers (160 nautical miles)**
