What was the US reaction to the Challenger disaster?

Challenger brought us shock followed by sadness. Loss of faith in NASA and things technical as regards the space program in general followed.

Early shuttles took satellite equipment into space and carried out various scientific experiments. Challenger, NASA’s second space shuttle to enter service, embarked on its maiden voyage on April 4, 1983, and made a total of nine voyages prior to 1986. That year, it was scheduled to launch on January 22 carrying a seven-member crew that included Christa McAuliffe, a 37-year-old high school social studies instructor from New Hampshire who had earned a spot on the mission through NASA’s Teacher in Space Program.

After undergoing months of training, she was set to become the first ordinary American citizen to travel into space.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest.
