Humanity's determination to go to space for adventure, commerce and exploration has never been stronger, but many of those who will open up this frontier have no direct memory of an unusually cold Florida morning that changed NASA forever. On Jan 28, 1986, the space shuttle Challenger rose and exploded in front of a live cable TV audience and school children who were watching via a special satellite feed. Among other things Werner presents some of the people connected to the mission to recall that day, its lessons and how NASA summoned the courage to fly again 33 months later.
