On this day in 1986, the NASA space shuttle Challenger was tragically lost shortly after launch. In remembrance of the seven crew members lost, the the lives impacted by the tragedy, I decided to make a mini shuttle in a similar color scheme. This particular one is for my kids, I've been gathering books on space for a while and this will be one of the things we will read with. I will be making some other versions of this space ship that will be available soon for all those future astronauts. My social media has been quiet lately (sorry about that).... but that's only because I've been tackling some behind the scenes stuff and working on my blog (I've got new posts up if you are looking for some light reading). #afoxinthefabric #space #spaceshuttle #spaceshuttlechallenger #challenger #read #readaboutspace #outerspace #readingwithkids #futureastronaut #littleastronaut (at Selah, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B74SN9-hg5U/?igshid=xdgj2hfiaty6

On January 28, 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger and her seven-member crew were lost when a ruptured O-ring in the right Solid Rocket Booster caused an explosion soon after launch. This photograph, taken a few seconds after the accident, shows the Space Shuttle Main Engines and Solid Rocket Booster exhaust plumes entwined around a ball of gas from the External Tank. Because shuttle launches had become almost routine after fifty 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 NASA confirmed the accident.

Explorers searching the Atlantic Ocean for lost artifacts from World War II were very surprised to discover a 20-foot-long piece of debris from the 1986 explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger.

The discovery happened off the east coast of Florida while they were filming of a upcoming series known as The Bermuda Triangle: Into Cursed Waters, per The History Channel and NASA reported CNN.

The group of divers were hoping to find a World War II-era rescue plane that disappeared in December 1945, but were shocked to come upon a piece of debris that looked to be more modern. They turned it over to NASA in August, and the space agency recently confirmed the debris had certainly originated from the failed Challenger launch.

It's with sadness that we remember, 36 years ago today, the Space Shuttle Challenger crew was lost 73 seconds into flight. These astronauts made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. Scobee, Smith, McNair, Onizuka, Resnik, Jarvis, McAuliffe. Never forget their names & the contributions they made to the cause of exploration. 😢🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 #spaceshuttlechallenger https://www.instagram.com/p/CZS4zMhJc4u/?utm_medium=tumblr

In this image, Space Shuttle Challenger waits on Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center before its first mission, STS-6, launched on April 4, 1983. Originally built as a test vehicle, in 1979 NASA issued a contract to convert it to a fully space-rated orbiter. It became the second operational Shuttle, delivered to Kennedy Space Center in July 1982. Challenger was destroyed shortly after lift off on her 10th mission, STS-51L, on January 28, 1986.
