Scenarios about 'space accidents'
Space accidents encompass catastrophic failures, mishaps, and disasters occurring during human spaceflight missions or involving space-related technology. These include notable tragedies like the Challenger and Columbia shuttle disasters, Apollo 1 fire, Soyuz 1 and 11 fatalities, and various launch failures that have shaped safety protocols and engineering approaches in space programs worldwide. In alternate history scenarios, different space accidents (or their prevention) often serve as critical divergence points that significantly alter the trajectory of space exploration and technological development.
