NGC special marks 30th anniversary of Challenger disaster

January 25, 2016 Jeff Pfeiffer

I can still remember sitting in my sophomore homeroom on the morning of Jan. 28, 1986, when our school’s principal came on the intercom system to inform us of the tragedy that had occurred when, 73 seconds into its launch, the space shuttle Challenger abruptly burst into flames and broke apart, killing all seven crew members.

Thirty years on, the image of the Challenger disaster has become embedded into the psyches of most Americans who are old enough to remember the […]
