The space shuttle Challenger made history as the first shuttle to carry an African-American astronaut, Guion Bluford, and the first American woman astronaut, Sally Ride, into space. However, Challenger is also tragically remembered for the 1986 disaster that resulted in the loss of the entire crew just after launch.
