[00:10.51]
[00:21.54]	On the 28th of January 1986
[00:29.75]	Christa McAuliffe gazed in horror as the O-rings failed
[00:37.07]	And she died, and she died, and she died
[00:40.82]
[00:41.41]	For the next agonising two minutes and forty-five long seconds
[00:50.36]	She called out the truth on a broken radio:
[00:57.09]	"I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive"
[01:01.67]	It came as some surprise to realise that as she lost everything
[01:11.72]	The world was revealed in a transmission so real that she understood everything:
[01:20.69]	You're still alive, you're still alive
[01:27.61]
[01:31.89]	Four thousand nautical miles as the crow flies away
[01:39.42]	A home-made ham radio in the loft of a Hampshire family home
[01:47.18]	Came alive, came alive, came alive
[01:51.07]
[01:51.67]	And so the four-year-old amateur operator thus became the only person to hear
[02:02.23]	Christa's last desperate communiqué
[02:07.27]	"We''re alive, we're alive, we're alive"
[02:11.51]
[02:11.91]	It came as some surprise to realise, while he didn't catch everything
[02:21.91]	The world was revealed in a transmission so real that he understood everything
[02:30.63]	You're still alive
[02:32.64]
[02:33.86][Outro - Frank Turner and Esme Patterson]
[02:36.40]	And Christa said
[02:37.96]	"The darkness up above led me on like unrequited love
[02:48.33]	While all the things I need were down here in the deep blue sea
[02:58.23]	The darkness up above led me on like unrequited love
[03:08.80]	While all the things I need were down here in the deep blue sea
[03:18.45]	The darkness up above led me on like unrequited love
[03:29.22]	While all the things I need were down here in the deep blue sea"
[03:38.79]	At four years old, I heard the truth on my radio
[03:51.13]	So now I keep a moment's silence for my Silent Key
[04:02.58]	My Silent Key
[04:07.35]	My Silent Key
[04:12.45]	My Silent Key
