On Jan. 28, 1986, the space shuttle Challenger exploded moments after takeoff. This issue of U.S. News investigates the explosion and remembers the space shuttle crew. "The horror came home like the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, for, just as then, television captured clearly the 73-second ride to catastrophe. The world witnessed, over and over and over, astronauts die."
