Overview
On January 28, 1986, the space shuttleĀ ChallengerĀ launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Seventy-three seconds after launch, the fiery breach of a solid motor joint caused a rupture of the propellant tanks, and a stunned nation watched as flames engulfed the craft, killing all seven crew members on board. It was Hugh Harris, āthe voice of launch control,ā whom audiences across the country heard counting down to lift-off on that fateful day.
With over fifty years of experience with NASAās missions, Harris presents the story of theĀ ChallengerĀ tragedy as only an insider can. With by-the-second accounts of the spacecraftās launch and a comprehensive overview of the ensuing investigation, Harris gives readers a behind-the-scenes look at the devastating accident that grounded the shuttle fleet for over two years. This book tells the whole story of theĀ Challengerās tragic legacy.
