Why Challenger Space Shuttle Exploded ? What Went Wrong

Why Challenger Space Shuttle Exploded ? What Went Wrong | On January 28, 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger broke apart 73 seconds after launch, killing all seven crew members. This video explains the catastrophic technical failure: a stiffened O-ring seal in the right Solid Rocket Booster (SRB), caused by record-low launch temperatures, failed to contain burning gases. This leak burned through the external fuel tank, leading to structural failure. Beyond the hardware, the video explores the organizational "go fever" and pressure that led NASA management to override the safety warnings of its own engineers, ignoring a known design flaw in pursuit of an ambitious launch schedule.
