About the Book
Historical events are complex and tied to the technical, political, cultural and sociological zeitgeist. At the same time, there is an axiom that good history is at least 25 years old. Now that 25 years have elapsed since the loss of the Challenger Space Shuttle and crew, perhaps we can place this pivotal event of American manned space history into perspective. The release of the photographic images of the Challenger's forward fuselage and crew compartment, seven years after the accident, is considered one of the most successful pro se legal cases in the history of the Freedom of Information Act brought into Federal Court.
