On January 28, 1986, the United States suffered its first in-flight tragedy. STS-51L was the 25th mission of the Space Shuttle Program, and the tenth of Space Shuttle Orbiter Challenger. Challenger, and her crew of seven, was launched at 11:38am EST from Kennedy Space Center's Launch Complex 39 Pad B. Approximately 73 seconds later, Challenger was destroyed as a result of aerodynamic stress, killing all onboard. The cause was rooted in the history of the Space Shuttle Program: The o-rings on the solid rocket boosters could not properly seal at cold temperatures. Deke Slayton may have described it best by saying, "The solid rocket motors simply weren't designed to be launched with ice hanging off them. We had developed those operational rules over the years: all you had to do was follow them and you'd be all right."
