Keynote: Challenger - Lessons from the space shuttle program
NAME
Adam Higginbotham
REV
A
On January 28, 1986 the space shuttle Challenger lifted off from Cape Canaveral, FL on its 25th mission. 73 seconds into flight, the space shuttle disintegrated in front of a TV audience of millions. This was the result of a cascade of engineering decisions going back years. In this keynote, NYT bestselling author Adam Higginbotham recounts the story of Challenger: the pressure, the stakes, and the engineering decisions behind the infamous space shuttle disaster.

Learn from the CoLab community at DES '26
Three days with the engineering leaders and teams already using CoLab to change how their work gets done. You'll explore new use cases through peer-led demos, hear executives share their strategic priorities, and get an exclusive look at what's coming next on the roadmap. You'll also have plenty of unstructured time to talk shop with other engineering leaders and the CoLab team.
Stay and explore St. John’s
Room blocks are set up at The Delta Hotel in downtown St. John's so you don't have to think about it. It's walkable to everything,
right on the waterfront, and some of the best conversations at DES happen over drinks after the sessions wrap.
