본문내용

Seven lives were lost as communications failed in the face of public pressure to proceed with the launch despite dangerously cold conditions.
위험천만한 추위에도 불구하고 발사를 진행하라는 여론의 압력에 부딪혀 의사소통에 실패 하면서 7명이 목숨을 잃었다.

By January of 1986 America was already bored with spaceflight.
It was, in part, NASA’s own fault. The government agency had debuted the space shuttle program five years earlier with an aggressive public-relations message that the reusable vehicles would make access to space both affordable and routine. Projected frequency: more than 50 flights a year.
1986년 1월까지 미국은 이미 우주 비행에 싫증이 났다.
그것은 부분적으로 나사의 잘못이었다. 정부 기관은 5년 전에 재사용 가능한 우주선이 저렴하고 일상적으로 우주에 갈 수 있다는 공격적인 홍보 메시지와 함께 우주왕복선 프로그램을 시작했다. 예상 빈도: 연간 50회 이상 비행.

But had space flight become…too routine? Even as the shuttle undertook fewer than one-tenth that many flights, excitement quickly waned. Television coverage slacked. Missions—to conduct research, repair satellites, and build the International Space Station—failed to ignite popular imaginations the way a moon landing had.
