On
January 28, 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded,
traumatizing the nation and taking the lives of the seven-member
NASA crew. Among them was Christa McAuliffe, the first Teacher
in Space. Reach for the Stars is her story.
In
this film, for the first time McAuliffe's family speaks
out about the impact of her death, revealing the deep
private loss behind the public tragedy and how it drastically
altered their lives. Previously unseen NASA footage and
candid interviews with NASA colleagues reveal McAuliffe's
unique spirit and personality. Most remember the event
as a great loss, but in fact McAuliffe's life and death
have inspired millions around the world. Despite her death,
she remains one of America's most vivid and remembered
astronauts.

Original Songs
Carly
was jointly commissioned by the Metropolitan Opera Association
and the Kennedy Center to write a contemporary opera
that would appeal to younger people. She came up with
Romulus Hunt, named after its 12-year-old protagonist.
It is a family opera about divorce. Romulus tries to
trick his divorced, ill-matched parents into coming
back together.
