Challenger Disaster: Similarities And Differences

Challenger On January 28, 1986 a disaster began that would be known as the Challenger Disaster. “Disaster in the Sky” and “History Channel” have similarities and differences. Both “Disaster in the Sky" and “History Channel” talk about how the Challenger had to get better rocket blasters. On the other hand, only “Disaster in the Sky" talked about how NASA was warned not to launch the Challenger. The History Channel did not talk about the warnings that NASA got from the people who made the rockets. Kristn Lewis, the author of Disaster in the Sky, talked about a disaster that has happened to the challenger. In contrast, the “Disaster in the Sky” and “The History Channel” both talked about how and why the Challenger exploded in the sky. Both “History Channel" and “Disaster in the Sky” talk about the crew and also the measures that NASA had to take so that this never happens again. The measures that NASA had to take was to rebuild the rockets on the new spaceship. The text states “ NASA made many important changes. McDoalds oversaw the design of the new rocket boosters. He personally crawled inside each one to inspect it.” “The disaster in the sky” p( 10). The text

The History Channel gives us less information about how NASA fixed the rocket boosters on the space shuttle. What the History Channel has said on the pdf, the text states “NASA had redesigned a number of features on the rocket boosters” p( 4).That is all it tells us. However, on the “Disaster in the Sky” it gives us more information on how NASA fixed the rocket boosters on the Challenger. The text states “McDonald oversaw the design of the new solid rocket boosters. He personally crawled inside each one to inspect it. The new rockets never failed.” (p 10) This proves how the Disaster in the Sky gives us more evidence than the “History Channel” because it tells us more about what had happened after the Challenger
