Exploration of space by the 1980’s, in the public eye, had grown stale. The tragedy of the Challenger explosion brought space exploration and NASA back into the limelight. Readers are given brief histories of each astronaut participating in this mission and what their duties were. Special information is given about the Teacher in Space Project. The presence of media brought this tragedy into the living rooms of families around the nation. Follow the story from the launch, explosion, recovery, and the media presence throughout the event. Add this as a brief reading selection to a modern history era study. Ending pages include a timeline, glossary, additional resources, and critical thinking questions. 64 pgs, pb. ~Rebecca

Publisher's Description of TV Displays Disaster as the Challenger Explodes (Captured Television History 4D)
On-point historical photographs combined with strong narration bring the story of the Challenger explosion to life. Kids will learn about how it happened, the subsequent investigation into its causes, and how it set back U.S. investment in space exploration. As an added bonus, readers will learn about how this played out on TV. By the time of the Challenger, the only network covering it in live time was CNN, as people thought of space flight as "old hat." This brought space flight back into the public consciousness, albeit not in a good way. Accompanying video will show readers what viewers saw at the time.
