Book #23 of 2025: Challenger. A powerful, sobering read. I was in Mr. Carey’s 10th grade World History class when it happened. We watched live, like so many others. That moment is seared into memory. This book captures the heartbreak and the heroism. #Challenger #NASA #AdamHigginbotham #BookReview

This is one of those books that altered my brain chemistry.
Diving into the decades leading up to the Challenger disaster then covering its aftermath in clear yet respectful detail, Higginbotham gives an amazingly detailed account of a quite complex topic.

Midnight in Chernobyl was one of those brain chemistry-altering reads for me, so Challenger was a natural choice.

You know a book is going to be good when you're already familiar with the material, but you're hooked within 20 pages, which is how I feel about Adam Higginbotham's new book: Challenger.
His book on Chernobyl is also fantastic.
