What is the Challenger Learning Center? One of several centers nationally that are part of a living memorial to the crew of the 1986 Space Shuttle mission that tragically ended shortly after lift-off. Education was a big part of that mission with Christa McAuliffe, a teacher, on board, so the families decided to create educational centers as living memorials to the crew.
