The Challenger exploded because the primary and secondary O-rings were stiff from cold weather. They were not put in correctly and not checked. Hot gases leaked thorugh the O-rings and mixed with the fire from take off. The external tank then caught on fire and soon the Challenger exploded, killing the seven passengers including Christa McAuliffe.
