The Challenger was 74 seconds in-flight when it exploded.
The space shuttle had reached a distance of about ten miles (16 kilometers) above the earth, before it broke apart some 73 seconds into its flight.
You need to stand far away from a shuttle launch to ensure safety in case of an explosion or malfunction. The intense heat and pressure generated by the launch can be dangerous, and standing at a distance minimizes the risk of harm from any debris.
As of March 2010, no Americans have died in space. Space is defined as 62 miles above sea level. Several astronauts have died in spaceflight-related disasters. In 1967, the 3-man crew of Apollo 1 died during a fire on the launchpad. In 1986, the 7-member crew of the Space Shuttle Challenger died during launch. Challenger was still far from reaching space. In 2003, the 7-member crew of the Space Shuttle Columbia died during re-entry. By the time the vehicle broke apart, the crew was below the 62 mile mark.
The space shuttles are Atlantis, Challenger, Columbia, Discovery, Endeavour, and Enterprise.
Because the fuel burned off.
The challenger was able to protect the challenger deep by sleeping in the ground so far down.
challenger by far, vipers
No, they are nor mega rich but they are far from broke.
about 3.5 kilometers
As far as I know you can order it now according to the challenger pamphlet, better hurry and get one before GM buys the company and quits building the challenger.

As far as we know, it didn't. But if you can launch something harmless into orbit, you can also launch something dangerous into orbit, which was a big part of the fear caused by the Sputnik launch.
Nobody did, as far as we know.
that depends on the design, how well you make it and where you launch it from
