Undoubtedly, one of the most tragic moments in history was the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion. On January 28th, 1986, the space shuttle Challenger exploded just 73 seconds after liftoff , killing all 7 of the crew members onboard. There were many theories about what could have caused the explosion to occur. One report claimed that there was a certain pattern with the smoke trail indicating that the shuttle ran into a jetstream. However, freezing temperatures hardened rubber o-rings on one…

There was many circumstances that lead up to the disaster of the Challenger, but one of the biggest ones was after liftoff. After about 70 seconds after the liftoff, the Challenger was at a speed of 9 miles when the shuttle was shredded apart by the modernized forces. This disaster lead to the deaths of seven astronauts. This horrendous calamity shaped future innovations by adequately…

Most of the books and films about the Space Shuttle Challenger that I could locate focused on the technical side of the explosion. I could not find anything that focused on Christa McAuliffe and Allan McDonald as the events unfolded. I want to start off my film with a quote by Gus Grissom; he is a famous astronaut who perished during a pretest launch for Apollo I. Grissom said, “If we die, we want people to accept it. We are in a risky business, and we hope that if anything happens to us it will…

Christa McAuliffe was chosen to go into space in a contest held by NASA, and was chosen 1 out of more than 11,000 applicants. She taught American History and English in Concord, New Hampshire. Her parents, two children, and students from Concord watched the shuttle disaster, not knowing what happened at first.…
