Publisher's Summary

The world watched…

...as a teacher flew into space.

Do you remember where you were when Christa McAuliffe died?

She was a wife, mother, teacher, and the first civilian to fly into space, but Christa’s dream tragically ended on a cold January day with the needless explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger.

Has anyone ever been held accountable?

Told by her distant relative, award-winning author Tom McAuliffe, Throttle Up: Teacher Astronaut Christa McAuliffe is a rewarding listen for anyone interested in education, space exploration, and inspirational life stories. She was a "Teacher’s Teacher", and this is her unpausable story.
