Description

12 Things You Didn’t Know About The Challenger Disaster That Will Blow Your Mind The Challenger disaster is one of the most replayed moments in American history, but the full story goes far deeper than those 73 seconds. This video walks through 12 things most people never learned about January 28, 1986, from the budget choice behind the solid rocket boosters and the O ring warnings written down months in advance, to the night engineers tried to stop the launch and were overruled. You will also hear about the 20 foot section of Challenger found by accident in 2022, the new Christa McAuliffe statue, and what investigators found inside the crew cabin, including the emergency air packs that were switched on after the breakup. #Challenger #ChallengerDisaster #NASA #SpaceShuttle #SpaceHistory Challenger disaster, Space Shuttle Challenger, Challenger explosion, Challenger 1986, things you didn't know about Challenger, Challenger crew, Christa McAuliffe, Roger Boisjoly, Allan McDonald, O ring failure, Challenger O rings, Rogers Commission, Richard Feynman, Morton Thiokol, normalization of deviance, Challenger crew cabin, Challenger wreckage found, NASA history, space shuttle history, space disaster documentary, Challenger documentary
