Things Don't Always Go Well
On January 28, 1986,11:38:00 a.m. EST The Space Shuttle Challenger launched from the Kennedy Space Center. The seven-member crew was killed after a vehicle breakup which occurred 73 seconds after lift-off because of an O-ring seal failure in the booster system. The five men and two women - including the first teacher in space - were just over a minute into their flight when the Challenger blew up.
