Francis R. Scobee became famous as the commander of the Space Shuttle Challenger during its tragic final flight on January 28, 1986, which resulted in the shuttle's explosion shortly after liftoff. He was a veteran astronaut with previous missions, but the Challenger disaster, which claimed the lives of all seven crew members, made him a prominent figure in discussions about space safety and NASA's operations. Scobee's legacy is remembered through the lessons learned from this incident and its impact on space exploration.
