À propos de cet audio

How had things got so boring...? This was the question NASA was trying to answer after interest in the space program had dwindled.

But they did find a solution: the 25th Space Shuttle launch would feature the first civilian in space, a teacher, set to board the Space Shuttle Challenger.

On January 28th, 1986, millions of people watched in shock as the Challenger exploded just 73 seconds after lift off. Today, we look back at the events leading up to the accident, the warnings that were there, and the impact this event had on a generation of kids.
