January 28, 1986, marks the day of the Space Shuttle Challenger Explosion. A day that will go down in history as a horrible tragedy for both NASA and America. Seven lives were lost that day, including the life of a high school teacher from New Hampshire. Former President Ronald Reagan was tasked with explaining this tragic event to the US people. Because of this, Reagan postponed the State of the Union Address and spoke about the Challenger Explosion instead. In his address to the nation about the explosion of the space shuttle, Challenger, President Ronald Reagan effectively commemorates the loss of the Challenger crew while also celebrating the crew’s achievements and encouraging further space travel by establishing pathos through his show of empathy, employing strong positive connotation, and alluding to the great explorer, Sir Francis Drake.

On January 28, 1986, the United States eagerly watched as the Challenger Space Shuttle launched from Launch Pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral Florida. On board were seven crew members to include a teacher from New Hampshire. Within 73 seconds after liftoff the Challenger exploded, and it was followed by President Ronald Reagan's public national Challenger address. On this specific day, President Reagan had arranged to deliver the State of Union Address, but instead he spoke to the nation about the tragedy that just unfolded in front of millions of Americans eyes. President Reagan's Challenger speech offers encouragement and solace to all who was impacted and watched, he also commended the bravery of the seven heroic crew members while reassuring future space exploration.

Despite the concerns raised, the Challenger was launched on January 28, 1986 [4]. Seventy three seconds after takeoff, the shuttle broke apart after the O-ring seal failed causing

On January 28, 1986, a day that was supposed to be filled with excitement and exploration, suddenly turned into a day filled with tragedy and sadness. The space shuttle Challenger was supposed to carry a seven member crew into orbit with one unique member along for this particular mission. Christa McAuliffe was supposed to be the first teacher to go into space as a member of the Teacher in Space Project. Due to this occasion, the media coverage and the number of viewers of this mission was extensive, particularly in schools across the nation. The Challenger lifted off shortly after 11:30 A.M., but tragically only seventy three seconds after takeoff it exploded sending debris and the seven crew members back to earth and into the Atlantic

On the morning of January 28th, 1986, Americans watched in shock and horror as the space shuttle Challenger exploded only 74 seconds after its launch, killing all seven crew members on board including a high school teacher Christa McAuliffe. Thousands, including families of the crew and schoolchildren

On the morning of Janurary 28th 1986, the world witnessed in shock and horror what was known as the Challenger disaster as the space shuttle exploded only 73 seconds after its launch, killing all seven crew members onboard including one teacher Christa McAuliffe. Approximately 17 percent of Americans watched the live broadcast of this launch, many of them schoolchildren including those from McAuliffe’s school. From this grave moment emerged an exigency that demands immediate action by the president. Later on that same day, President Ronald Reagan delivered his Challenger address to the nation.

On January 28th, 1986, the Challenger shuttle exploded shortly after liftoff killing all seven of the crew members. Almost everyone in America, including hundreds of thousands of schoolchildren were watching. This disaster meant that Ronald Reagan would have to address the issue. He answered this call with the Challenger Disaster Address. In this speech, he not only comforted the families of the astronauts, but also the rest of the nation by rebuilding faith in the space program. Reagan exibited empathy in his tone, while keeping a strong demeanor.

On January 28, 1986 American faced one of its most devastating moments in history. This date marked the day that the Challenger exploded. The challenger was extensively captured by the media because of who was on the spacecraft. An American schoolteacher received the opportunity to fly to space and because of this it was widely televised. After the tragedy president Ronald Reagan addressed the nation. President Reagan

National aeronautics and space administration, this is the complicated way of saying NASA. NASA was created by government officials in the year 1958, the main goal of this government establishment is to explore space and aeronautics. Although those are the main goals the main responsibility of NASA is to conduct research peacefully that will help mankind to excel in the future. Although Florida is known for tourist attractions such as Disney and its beaches there would be nothing exciting about them if it weren’t for the NASA spaceport near Cape Canaveral. This spaceport has had positive impacts on Florida and is still a popular tourist site today.

The Space Shuttle Challenger was originally a test vehicle for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). In 1979, NASA ordered Challenger to be converted to a space-rated orbiter, which consisted of massive disassembly and restructuring of the orbiter. It was delivered back to NASA as the second orbiter in their fleet of Space Shuttles in July 1982, where it was launched on its first mission on 4 April 1983. Crew members conducted the first spacewalk of the Space Shuttle program on this mission, and subsequent missions saw many other firsts for space exploration history (1). Over Challenger’s lifetime of three years, nine missions of various basis were successfully completed (2).

There are many action movies that grab the audience attention, but later on realize the negligent science that was presented. The 1998 movie, Armageddon is a great example. “The premise of the movie is that a giant asteroid is going to hit the Earth and wipe out all life” (Phil Plate). As I watched the movie, an asteroid is headed to Earth, and is told that this was the Dinosaur Killer 65 million years ago. It was stated that the force was “10,000 nuclear weapons” as it exploded. If it were to be calculated it would be a lower force. It should be expected to move approximately 11 kilometers per second, which is believed to be minimum speed. “Astronomers have known for the better part of a year that asteroid 2012 DA14—a medium sized, 150 ft (50 m) rock weighing 143,000 tons—was closing in on us. They knew that it would miss us too, by 17,200 miles (27,700 km)”

Henry Allotey Challenger worker attitude, ethics, behavior. On January 28, 1986, the NASA the space Shuttle Challenger burst into a ball of flame only 73 seconds after take-off, leading to the death of the entire crew on board. Some months later, a commission was created by the President, Ronald Reagan, to investigate the causes of the disaster. It was determined that the cause of the disaster was the failure of a seal in one of the solid rocket boosters.

1986---in 1986 the Challenger's STS-51L mission was the first shuttle liftoff scheduled for Launch Pad 39B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla. After several technical and weather-related delays, Challenger launched at 11:38 a.m. EST on Jan. 28, 1986.Commander Rick Hauck and June Scobee

In January of 1986, the Spacecraft Challenger was ready to launch. Challenger was a large spacecraft that was fueled up and ready to go. On the day of the launch, as Challenger was launching the spacecraft exploded and seven people died. In 2003 a Columbia Spacecraft was returning to earth when the shuttle malfunctioned and blew up causing the death of seven crew members. In space camp in Alabama kids and teenagers are learning how Space worked and the robotics that go along with it.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) prior optical communication endeavours have concentrated on lunar and space communication work involving uplinks and downlinks. Prior programs/projects in the public domain have included collaborative efforts among Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), MIT Lincoln Laboratory (MIT-LL), and the European Space Agency (ESA). In the remainder of this section, efforts are listed under the lead organization. However, other organizations may have participated in the referenced programs/projects.
