This is a special look at the seven Americans who gave their lives in the Challenger disaster. NASA had taken every precaution, as always, to insure safety and confidence. It wasn't until the shuttle had inched up from the launch pad that the mystery started to unfold. You'll see the facts and findings behind the investigation and a technical explanation of what went wrong. The lesson will live forever in the future of America's space program and so will the memory of the seven astronauts who boarded the Challenger for the last time. Victoriously and and courageously, America returned to space with the next shuttle, Discovery, commanded by astronaut Rick Hauck. Rick and his crew salute their Challenger colleagues in a moving memorium in outer space.
