This photograph, taken a few seconds after the accident, shows the\u00a0<\/span>Space Shuttle Main Engines<\/a>\u00a0and Solid Rocket Booster exhaust plumes entwined around a ball of gas from the\u00a0<\/span>External Tank<\/a>. Because shuttle launches had become almost routine after twenty-four successful missions, those watching the shuttle launch in person and on television found the sight of the explosion especially shocking and difficult to believe until\u00a0<\/span>NASA<\/a>\u00a0confirmed the accident.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Space Shuttle orbiter<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>Challenger<\/i>\u00a0<\/span>(OV-099)<\/a>\u00a0(mission\u00a0<\/span>STS-51-L<\/a>) broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, leading to the deaths of its seven crew members.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n ","rendered":"
