The explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger in January 1986 riveted millions of Americans, who watched the horrific event live on television. What they didn't know then was that the tragedy was largely preventable, a disastrous result of hubris and “magical thinking” as much as flawed engineering. Journalist Adam Higginbotham's new book, “Challenger: A True Story of Heroism and Disaster on the Edge of Space,” is a definitive account of what went wrong, and how NASA failed to learn from its own mistakes. Higginbotham's story begins with an earlier fatal accident, a fire in the capsule of the Apollo 1 mission, which presaged Challenger's fate. He then recounts the early days of the space shuttle program. Astonishingly, the very mechanical flaws that led to Challenger's destruction were known, but the warnings of a few engineers were ignored by more senior officials, who by the time Challenger was set to launch the first teacher into space faced tremendous political and public pressure to make the mission happen, despite obvious risks. Higginbotham spoke with Shane Harris about his book, why he wanted to tell the Challenger story, and the future of human spaceflight.

INTRODUCTION:Welcome to the Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast.  Today's episode is brought to you by Qualia Senalytic at Qualialife.com. The Not Old Better Show today will delve into the fascinating world of science and discovery, bringing you stories that ignite curiosity and inspire action. I'm your host, and today, we have an extraordinary episode lined up for you, part of our Science Literacy author interview series.Our guest today is Adam Higginbotham, an acclaimed author whose meticulous research and powerful storytelling have shed new light on some of the most dramatic and impactful events in modern history. You may know him from his award-winning book, Midnight in Chernobyl. Today, he joins us to discuss his latest work, Challenger: A True Story of Heroism and Disaster on the Edge of Space.Imagine a crisp, cold morning in Florida, January 28, 1986. The nation is glued to their televisions, brimming with pride and excitement as the space shuttle Challenger prepares for liftoff. Among the crew are seven brave souls, including Christa McAuliffe, a schoolteacher poised to become the first civilian in space. But just 73 seconds after launch, the unthinkable happens. An explosion shatters the dream, and the world watches in horror as the shuttle disintegrates, taking all seven crew members with it.In his book, Higginbotham goes beyond the catastrophic malfunction of the O-rings. He explores the deeply entrenched culture within NASA—a culture of risk-taking and image-conscious decisions that, despite the agency's incredible achievements, was ripe for disaster. From the tragic Apollo 1 fire that claimed the lives of three astronauts in 1967 to the Columbia shuttle disaster in 2003, Higginbotham paints a vivid picture of how repeated warnings were ignored, how hubris overshadowed caution, and how the relentless pursuit of progress sometimes came at an unimaginable cost.Today's interview will take us through the harrowing history and complex dynamics of NASA's shuttle program. We'll learn about the lives of the Challenger crew members before their fateful flight, the technical and managerial challenges faced by NASA, and the broader implications of these tragic events on the future of space exploration.But this isn't just a story of failure. It's a call to action—a reminder that the pursuit of scientific discovery must be balanced with unwavering commitment to safety and integrity. As we look to the future of space travel, the lessons from Challenger are more relevant than ever. Higginbotham's account challenges us to reflect on our own approach to risk, to question the decisions made in the name of progress, and to ensure that the sacrifices made by those brave astronauts were not in vain.So, stay with us as we dive deep into this compelling narrative of heroism, disaster, and the relentless human spirit. This is the Not Old Better Show, and you won't want to miss what's coming up next.Again, thanks for joining us today with Adam Higginbotham, on the Not Old Better Show Art of Living interview series. Today's show is brought to you by Qualia Senolytic. Please support our sponosrs as they in turn support the show.  My thanks to Executive Producer Sam Heninger, for all his work with sound design and everything else.  My thanks to you our wonderful audience here on radio and podcast.  Be well, be safe and Let's Talk About Better.  The  Not Old Better Show Art of Living interview series. on radio and podcast.  Thanks, everybody and we'll see you next week.

She also touches on working with museums and organizations on the experiential and programmatic side, like with kids' programming, and how those play a role in risk management.

On this episode, Adam Higginbotham brings us back to the moment that many say they will never forget, but also to a moment that is filled with misconception and myth. When the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded in 1986, seven astronauts lost their lives and NASA was confronted with its biggest failure. Higginbotham shows us how the space program chose to remember those lost, rebuild faith in its mission, and how NASA persisted as a larger reflection of American culture. Higginbotham also explains how our memories of Challenger aren't necessarily what happened. His book is the first in nearly forty years that attempts to present an accurate portrayal of what happened and the impact it has had.Adam Higginbotham's website can be found at https://www.adamhigginbotham.com/He is on social media at https://twitter.com/HigginbothamAInformation on his book from Simon & Schuster can be found at https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Midnight-in-Chernobyl/Adam-Higginbotham/9781501134630Support our show at https://patreon.com/axelbankhistory**A portion of every contribution is given to a charity for children's literacy** "Axelbank Reports History and Today" can be found on social media at https://twitter.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://instagram.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://facebook.com/axelbankhistory

The year 1986 was notable for two big disasters, both of them attributable to human error and bureaucratic negligence at competing super powers: the Chernobyl nuclear accident in the Soviet Union and the explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger in the United States.The journalist Adam Higginbotham wrote about Chernobyl in his 2019 book, “Midnight in Chernobyl.” Now he's back, with a look at the American side of the ledger, in his new book, “Challenger: A True Story of Heroism and Disaster on the Edge of Space.” On this week's episode, Higginbotham tells host Gilbert Cruz why he was drawn to both disasters, and what the Challenger explosion revealed about weaknesses in America's space program.“There was certainly a lot of hubris and complacency that led into this accident,” Higginbotham says. “In complex decision-making processes like those leading to the Chernobyl accident and the Challenger disaster, those concerned with making the decisions start off with a series of extremely carefully governed and defined practices for what constitutes acceptable risk and normal behavior. And then gradually over time, they subtly and almost unconsciously expand what they deem to be acceptable without even realizing it."

Rusty Reid was named president and CEO of Higginbotham in 1989 at the age of 27. At that time, he implemented the firm's defining “single source” service model whereby customers can obtain all their insurance and financial services under one roof. He also had the foresight to establish Higginbotham's employee ownership structure, aligning all employees' interests in the success of the firm. Under Rusty's leadership, Higginbotham has grown to become the nation's 21st-largest independent insurance brokerage firm and Texas's largest—one with full property/casualty, financial, and HR service capabilities through offices coast to coast.
