When We Left Earth Video


I have an interesting video on NASA spaceships.   It talks about the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster that occurred 73 seconds after lift-off on its mission of January 28, 1986, and the subsequent halt of the Space Shuttle program. The video shows the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope in 1990 on mission STS-31 and the discovery of its defective mirror.   Also in the video, it shows the first refurbishment mission of the Hubble Space Telescope, the launch, assembly, and construction of the International Space Station. The video also recalls the Columbia disaster that occurred during re-entry, 16 minutes from landing, at the Kennedy Space Center on February 1, 2003.  Space crafts are my favorite thing to learn and I  am taking this video to my science class tomorrow to inform the class!
