Space shuttle Challenger exploding in space
On January 28th, 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger lifted off from Cape Canaveral in Florida, and then exploded exactly 73 seconds later -- taking with it the lives of all seven astronauts on board, including the first citizen and teacher to fly into space, Christa McAuliffe.
