Some current and former NASA astronauts and their families have objected to the singer Beyonce sampling audio from the space shuttle Challenger disaster for a song on her new album. Challenger exploded 73 seconds after liftoff from the Kennedy Space Center Jan. 28, 1986. All seven crewmembers aboard were killed. "Flight controllers here looking very carefully at the situation. Obviously a major malfunction," NASA public affairs officer Steve Nesbitt said as the nation watched. His voice is heard at the beginning of the video for Beyonce's new song "XO," about a troubled relationship.
