Christa McAuliffe was to have been the first teacher in space, as part of the 'Teacher in Space' project.
Regrettably Christa was killed when the space shuttle Challenger was traveling towards space and exploded 73 seconds after launch. She did not actually reach space.
In August 2007, Christa's back-up, Barbara Morgan, entered space on August 8th, 2007 as an 'educator astronaut' but NASA apparently avoided calling her a 'teacher in space', as she had to give up her role as teacher to become an astronaut. See the ' Teacher In Space' Related Link below.
