Description

Join us as we finish the story of Christa McAuliffe and the Challenger Disaster.

In part 2, Hailee tells us how Christa won the Teacher in Space position out of thousands of applicants, how she trained for weeks and gives brief bios for the rest of the Challenger crew. We will also learn how this disaster very well could have been avoided.
