The mission was emblematic of an America standing tall once again, revitalised under its new leader, President Ronald Reagan.</p><p>On Tuesday 28 January 1986 when <em>Challenger</em> was launched into space, the shuttle exploded into a fireball in the sky above the Atlantic Ocean, just over a minute into its journey. The seven men and women onboard were killed, and the disaster was watched live by millions around the world.</p><p>The long chain of events that led to the disaster, and the aftermath of the tragedy, have remained clouded by time, misconception and the complexities of aerospace engineering. Despite months of headlines, video replays of the doomed launch, and a Congressional investigation which itself became a media spectacle, the truth of the accident has never been fully unravelled. To most, it was known simply as the catastrophe that killed Christina McAuliffe, the Teacher in Space.</p><p>In this jaw-dropping account based on deep archival research and original reporting, award-winning journalist Adam Higginbotham reveals the lives of the men and women whose stories have been overshadowed by the disaster, not only the seven members of the <em>Challenger</em> crew, but the designers, engineers and test pilots who knew that shortcuts were being taken. A tale of hubris and over-reach on the high frontier, as well as spectacle thats never been seen before or since, <em>Challenger</em> is a classic work of storytelling from a master of the form.</p>...(*_*)9780241994276_<p><strong>Gripping ED CAESAR Masterly GEOFF DYER Incredible TIM HARFORD A universal story that transcends time <em>NEW YORK TIMES</em> Superb <em>DAILY TELEGRAPH</em> We know whats going to happen, but feel the suspense nonetheless <em>THE TIMES</em></strong></p><p><strong> THE <em>NEW YORK TIMES</em> BESTSELLER <br /> WINNER OF THE KIRKUS BOOK PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION 2024 </strong></p><p><strong>The definitive, dramatic, minute-by-minute story of the <em>Challenger</em> space shuttle disaster based on fascinating in-depth reporting and new archival research this is riveting history that reads like a thriller.</strong></p><p>On the morning of 28 January 1986, just seventy-three seconds into flight, the space shuttle <em>Challenger</em> broke apart over the Atlantic Ocean, killing all seven people on board.

Like the assassination of JFK, the <em>Challenger</em> disaster is a defining moment in twentieth century history one that forever changed the way America thought of itself and its optimistic view of the future.

Its a compelling tale of optimism and ingenuity shattered by political cynicism and cost-cutting in the interests of burnishing national prestige; of hubristic go fever; and of an investigation driven by heroic leakers and whistle-blowers determined to bring the truth to light.</p><p>With astonishing clarity and narrative verve, Adam Higginbotham reveals the history of the shuttle program, the lives of men and women whose stories have been overshadowed by the disaster, as well as the designers, engineers and test pilots who struggled against the odds to get the first shuttle into space. A masterful blend of riveting human drama, fascinating science and shocking political infighting, <em>Challenger</em> brings to life a turning point in our history.
