28 jan 1986 ano - The Challenger Explosion

Descrição:

In 1986, a shuttle named the Challenger was launched, however, 73 seconds into the flight, a leak in a rocket booster ignited the main fuel tank, causing all seven of the crew members to be killed. Something striking about this case was that a civilian teacher, Christa McAuliffe, was riding on this ship. She was meant to see if she could teach from space, but she sadly never got to. After this incident, NASA was suspended for 2 years.
