Hard to believe it was 33 years ago. On the morning of 28 January 1986, Space Shuttle Challenger lifted off, following a night of sub-freezing temperatures. The embrittlement of the Solid Rocket Boosters "o-rings" caused a crack to develop, leading to a blowtorch of flame aimed directly at the aft SRB field joint and the large external hydrogen fuel tank.
