Despite warnings that it was likely not safe to launch in such cold weather, NASA gave Challenger the go ahead on January 28, 1986. Seventy three seconds after liftoff, the shuttle stack suffered a catastrophic malfunction and exploded. Seven astronauts lost their lives, but not from the explosion itself. We'll look at exactly what happened in this episode.
