Challenger: Go for Launch plot

January 28, 1986 must be just about the blackest day in the history of space travel. The space shuttle 'Challenger' exploded shortly after launch, killing the entire crew. Among them was a regular schoolteacher, Christa McAuliffe, chosen from among thousands of candidates to become the first American 'citizen' to travel through space. The case became even more painful when it turned out that the disaster had been predicted by engineers who had worked on the launchers.
