The Challenger Space Shuttle disaster on January 28, 1986, resulted in the deaths of all seven crew members. The astronauts were Francis R. Scobee, Michael J. Smith, Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, Judith Resnik, Gregory Jarvis, and Christa McAuliffe, who was a civilian teacher and the first private citizen selected to go to space. The tragedy was caused by the failure of an O-ring seal in one of the solid rocket boosters, leading to the shuttle's destruction shortly after liftoff.
