Divers find space shuttle – level 1
18-11-2022 07:00
Divers are filming a movie about a place in the Atlantic Ocean. It is near Florida, USA. They find parts of the Space Shuttle Challenger in the sand.
NASA confirms that the parts are from the space shuttle. They are the main body of it. They are at least 6 meters long.
On January 28, 1986, the shuttle takes off from Cape Florida. Only 73 seconds later, it breaks apart. It falls into the ocean.
Seven people are on the shuttle. They all die. This day is very sad for American people.
Later, divers find some parts of the shuttle. This discovery is the biggest in the last 20 years.
Difficult words: confirm (to say that something is true), space shuttle (a vehicle to travel into space and back), discovery (find something).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
