It is believed that the crew members were still alive after the initial explosion of the shuttle, but lost consciousness within seconds. They were killed due to the violent impact of the crew cabin into the ocean.After the Challenger disaster, President Reagan announced that the program would continue. However, NASA later decided to eliminate the program.The reason she died was because the rubber seals that held the rocket boostershad weakened in the cold then the gas was leaking then the rocket exploded.
