Jimmy Carter is not correct.
the correct answer is Ronald Reagan.
Space Shuttle Challenger failed during launch. Space Shuttle Columbia failed during reentry.
In 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger disintegrated 73 seconds after liftoff, resulting in the deaths of all seven crew members. The disaster was caused by the failure of an O-ring on one of the solid rocket boosters, which led to a catastrophic structural failure of the shuttle's external fuel tank.
All of the bodies were recovered, but it was never determined how the astronauts died. It is assumed they died due to the impact with the ocean, and not the explosion itself.
None of them crashed. Space Shuttle Challenger broke apart in 1986 due to a SRB explosion. Space Shuttle Columbia broke apart during reentry in 2003 due to a whole in it's left wing from foam from the ET hitting it during launch.
The biggest catastrophe in the space race was the explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger in 1986 shortly after liftoff, resulting in the deaths of all seven crew members. Another significant disaster was the explosion of the Space Shuttle Columbia during re-entry in 2003, leading to the loss of all seven astronauts on board.

Yes, the bodies of the space shuttle Challenger disaster were recovered. The remains of the seven crew members were found in the debris after the shuttle disintegrated in mid-air during launch in 1986.
Its maiden flight was on April 4, 1983. Challenger exploded during launch on its tenth mission to space, on January 26, 1986.
No space shuttles have exploded in space. Challenger disintegrated during launch and Columbia during the re-entry process. Neither were in space at the time. challenger and Columbia +++ The Challenger shuttle itself did not explode. The explosion was of the massive booster rockets lifting it into Space, after a seal failed on one, allowing fuel to leak and ignite. The shuttle remained fairly intact although very badly damaged, and I believe was subsequently recovered from the sea-bed.
The O-ring on the solid rocket booster did not expand enough during the launch due to the outside temperatures being to cold and ultimately conbustible material leaked and ignited the fuel causing a mass explosion
Apollo 1 fire, killing all three astronauts. Space Shuttle Challenger Explosion, killing all seven astronauts. Space Shuttle Columbias Re-entry breakup, killing all seven astronauts.
Yes - all of the crew remains were recovered when the Shuttle Crew Compartment was discovered during recovery operations in the weeks following the accident. It was determined from both evidence in the compartment and autopsies that several were still alive after the explosion (emergency oxygen canisters had been activated) and that they survived until impacting the ocean.
Space shuttle Challenger was torn apart during launch in January 1986.
