This is the story of the courageous woman and passionate teacher with a lifelong commitment to education who became an astronaut and died in the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion on January 28, 1986. Her loss was deeply felt across the nation and how this drastically changed the dynamics of her family. But out of the tears and mourning came a sense of purpose. Christa was and remains, one of NASA's most visible and beloved astronauts.
