Who was America's favorite teacher? Ask anyone what they know about Christa McAuliffe and they will tell you exactly where they were when the NASA Challenger shuttle mission launched; however, few people understand who Mrs. McAuliffe really was. America's Teacher in Space was an educational pioneer and her goals and accomplishments are explored in this virtual performance experience, which debuted in 2016. History At Play™, LLC (HAP) discovers the true story behind the incredible teacher and educational pioneer.
“When we closed our eyes and listened, it was as though Christa was in the room with us.” ~ Lisa Bristol, Christa McAuliffe's Sister
