Tragically, the mission's primary candidate, Christa McAuliffe, and six other crew members died in the Challenger disaster in January 1986. Morgan continued to honor McAuliffe's legacy and dedicated her career to promoting STEM education. In 1998, Morgan was selected by NASA as an astronaut candidate and completed her training in 2000. In August 2007, she flew on the STS-118 mission aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour as a mission specialist, becoming the first educator astronaut to reach space.In total, we tracked 95 items since 01/01/2008.
