The STS-51-L was a shuttle by NASA that exploded 73 seconds after lift off and killed
7 American astronauts. It takes NASA 1.5 billion dollars to launch a rocket. Therefore, in 73 seconds NASA wasted 1.5 billion dollars and cost us 7 precious lives. Between the years of 1964 and 1999 there have been twenty launches. Within those twenty launches six were failed missions, which in turn lost the U.S $9 Billion. NASA in the future would like to spend about 500 million dollars on each shuttle they make versus the 1.5 billion they currently use. It takes them 5 years to make a shuttle that they send into space. The STS-51-L shuttle we are focusing on was gone in a little over a minute. So NASA wasted 5 years and over a billion dollars on a certain
