7 Strange Things About the Challenger Disaster That Still Don't Make Sense!

7 Strange Things About the Challenger Disaster That Still Don't Make Sense! On January 28, 1986, Challenger broke apart 73 seconds after liftoff, and the story most of us remember leaves out the strangest parts. In this video we go through seven of them: why NASA put a schoolteacher on board and almost sent Big Bird, the last words heard from the crew, the engineers who begged to stop the launch the night before, why the shuttle didn't really explode, the evidence that the crew may have survived the breakup, what the investigation found about why NASA flew anyway, and the pieces of Challenger that keep turning up decades later. It's a story where almost nothing was a surprise, and that's what makes it so hard to forget. #Challenger #SpaceShuttleChallenger #NASA #SpaceHistory #ChristaMcAuliffe Challenger disaster, Space Shuttle Challenger, Challenger explosion, Challenger 1986, NASA, Christa McAuliffe, Teacher in Space, Morton Thiokol, O ring failure, Roger Boisjoly, Bob Ebeling, Richard Feynman, Rogers Commission, Challenger crew, Challenger debris, Big Bird Challenger, Space shuttle disaster, NASA history, space history documentary, strange facts, unsolved history, history documentary
