We are remembering the disaster of the space shuttle Challenger which exploded back on January, 28th, 1986.
Seven astronauts died on that launch exactly twenty-eight years ago.
One was school-teacher Christa McAuliffe.
The challenger shuttle broke apart 73- seconds into its flight.
NASA did not try again for almost three years.
The disaster changed the design of rocket boosters and forced NASA to create a new office of safety.
