On the cold, crisp morning of January 28, 1986, the space shuttle Challenger launched on a space mission from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA blasting through the sky to get out of earth’s orbit. Seventy-three short seconds later, the shuttle exploded in the air and crashed into the frigid waters of the Atlantic Ocean below, killing all occupants.
On board the craft were seven crew members, two of whom had caused significant public interest in the flight, Christa McAuliffe, a high school teacher and Ronald McNair, one of the first African American astronauts to go to space.
