Reflection of Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster

The tragedy that happened when the Space Shuttle Challenger exploted could've been avoided if the group of engineers that designed the space shuttle had worked better on it and revised it before the launch. Challenger's service to America's space program ended in tragedy on Jan. 28, 1986. Just 73 seconds into the mission, a booster failure caused an explosion that resulted in the loss of seven astronauts, as well as the shuttle. It was later determined that two rubber O-rings, which had been designed to separate the sections of the rocket booster, had failed due to cold temperatures on the morning of the launch. If I had been the one that designed the Shuttle I would've designed it better so that the rocket boosters wouldn't be affected by temperature or outside causes. If I became an engineer I would make a better shuttle in memory of the old challenger space shuttle but this one wouldn't have any flaws or errors in it.
