The chapter about the space shuttle Challenger, which exploded shortly after liftoff Jan. 28, 1986. He knew remembering the details of the Challenger tragedy would be difficult so he put off writing about it until the end. At the time Norris was the chief engineer for shuttle contamination control and played no direct role in the Challenger launch but he observed it as a NASA insider.
