Original Note:
All seven STS-51L crew members died on Jan. 28, 1986 after a solid rocket booster failed 73 seconds into launch, triggering an explosion of the fuel tank and disintegration of the Challenger space shuttle. The catastrophic event was unsurvivable; claims otherwise are false. https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL1N39W1RI/ https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/nov/30/instagram-posts/conspiracy-theory-about-the-nasas-challenger-space/ https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/challenger-crew-alive/
