A challenge for cause is a legal procedure used during jury selection to disqualify a potential juror based on specific biases or inability to serve impartially. Unlike a peremptory challenge, which allows a party to dismiss a juror without stating a reason, a challenge for cause requires the party to provide a valid justification, such as a conflict of interest or a preconceived opinion about the case. The judge ultimately decides whether to grant the challenge. This process ensures that the jury remains fair and unbiased.

What was the main purpose of the HMS Challenger voyage?
The H.M.S. Challenger embarked from Portsmouth, England on December 21, 1872 and changed the course of scientific history. Physicists, chemists, and biologists collaborated with expert navigators to map the sea. This interdisciplinary spirit has continued to the present day. During the 4 year journey, the voyages circumnavigated the globe, sounded the ocean bottom to a depth of 26,850 feet, found many new species, and provided collections for scores of biologists.

What year was the spacecraft Columbia launched?
Space Shuttle Columbia's first mission launched on 12 April 1981 and lasted until April 14, during which it orbited the Earth 36 times. The mission commander was John W Young, with pilot Robert Crippen.
How was the Columbia space shuttle destoyed?
The Columbia space shuttle was destroyed during re-entry on February 1, 2003, due to damage sustained to its heat shield during launch. A piece of foam insulation from the external fuel tank struck the shuttle's left wing, causing critical damage that led to the disintegration of the spacecraft upon re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere.

How much did the Columbia disaster cost?
The Columbia disaster, which occurred on February 1, 2003, resulted in the tragic loss of all seven astronauts aboard. The immediate financial cost of the disaster was estimated at around $1.5 billion, which included the loss of the orbiter, the investigation, and the impact on future missions. Additionally, the disaster led to significant changes in NASA's operations and safety protocols, incurring further long-term costs.
Who were the people who died in the challenger?
Dick Scobee (commander), Michael J. Smith (pilot), Ellison Onizuka (mission specialist 1), Judith Resnik (mission specialist 2), Ronald McNair (mission specialist 3), Sharon Christa McAuliffe (payload specialist 1), Gregory Jarvis (payload specialist 2)
What condition were the bodies of challenger and discovery?
The Challenger struck the water at such a high rate of speed that finding all the pieces afterward was a very daunting task. Some pieces even washed ashore eleven years after the disaster. The bodies (or more accurately, some of their remains) were sent to their families for burial, with two being buried at Arlington National Cemetery. The rest of the remains were buried in a communal plot.
The Discovery was not known to have produced any disaster.
The Columbia, however, disintegrated upon re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere. Parts of the shuttle, as well as human remains, were found scattered over parts of North and East Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas.
The extreme cold the night before lift off caused the rubber on the O-rings to shrink. The O-ring became to small to close the joint properly. Hot gases escaped and damaged 1 SRB and the fuel tank. As the shuttle shot higher into the sky, the broken parts twisted loose. Dangerous gases began pouring out with great force. The rocket could not stand the extra force. The fuel tank broke apart, along with the Challenger,
What do Mission Specialiste do?
There is usually one mission specialist on each mission (like the Endeavour). Mae Jemison was a mission specialist on the Endeavour. Sometimes there can be more then one. It always depends on the mission!!!! :)
Were the bodies of the crew of Columbia ever found?
Yes, remains from all seven crew were recovered and returned to their families for burial.
