When the Challenger space shuttle took off on 28 January 1986, the world seemed to have lost its wonder at the Amazing achievements of the astronauts involved. But this was going to be no ordinary excursion, and millions of people tuned in to witness the take-off on TV.

When the Challenger space shuttle took off on 28 January 1986, the world seemed to have lost its wonder at the Amazing achievements of the astronauts involved. But this was going to be no ordinary excursion, and millions of people tuned in to witness the take-off on TV.

Activity 3 (Read for details)
It was special because Christa McAuliffe aged 37, an ordinary teacher and mother, was about to become the first civilian in space. She planned to give two 15-minute lessons from orbit: the first to demonstrate the controls of the spacecraft and explain how gravity worked, and the second to describe the objectives of the Challenger programme. Christa hoped to communicate a sense of excitement and rekindle interest in the space programme. With the eyes of students across the nation upon her, she might have inspired an entirely new generation of astronauts and space scientists.

Activity 3 (Read for details)
Tragically, she never returned to her classroom as the shuttle exploded just over a minute after taking off in Florida, and all seven astronauts on board were killed. The world went into shock, most people having assumed that this space flight would be no more dangerous than travelling in an aeroplane. How wrong they had been!

What were people’s feelings before and after the Challenger disaster
Before the Challenger disaster, people felt optimistic and were very excited to watch the take-off on TV. They became shocked and scared after the disaster.

However, the disaster of the Challenger on 28 January 1986, cast a shadow on people’s hearts. Dangerous as it is, people never stop the pace of space exploration, and on 29 September 1988 witnessed the successful launch of Discovery. The heroic deeds of the astronauts inspire us to go on with the exploration.
Activity 4 (Read and summarize)
Talk about what you can learn from the Challenger disaster.
Activity 5 (Read and discuss)
Why do you think people continue to explore space despite the risks

NASA suspended space shuttle flights for more than two years as it investigated the cause of the Columbia disaster. The Columbia mission was the second space shuttle disaster after the Challenger. The disaster directly led to the retirement of the space shuttle fleet in 2011.
