January 1986. NASA engineers faced with the pressure of launching over a dozen Space Shuttle flights by the end of the year‚ hindered the program with a critical lack of safety measures and concerns. This would not only cost the program millions‚ but would also claim the lives of 7 very unique and special individuals‚ including the woman who was to be the first teacher in space. Perhaps the most recognizable result of this oversight towards safety concerns in the NASA workforce‚ was the loss of the
