I was too young to know anything about the Challenger tragedy when it occurred. I learned about it in school, but it wasn’t in any great detail. While I was still young, space became one of my favorite topics, and Challenger had a place in that, even if I didn’t know much about it. When I saw this book, I figured it could fill in the blanks that I never learned growing up. I wasn’t disappointed.

Adam Higginbotham has done a great job of compiling all the details of the Challenger explosion, from the people that worked that day to the aftermath following the investigation. He did not gloss over anything, even if it made someone look bad. This book is for anyone that wants to know the full story of what happened, and what caused it.

I received a free ARC of the book from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
