Correction to This Article
This memoir incorrectly reported a NASA statement on the shuttle Challenger disaster. NASA eventually did release the transcripts of the astronauts' voice recordings, and there was no mention of an astronaut saying, "Please, hold my hand."

"Stewart?"
"Is that you?"
I said, "Your skin is peeling off of your face."
He didn't move.
"What do I look like?" I asked.
"You look normal."
"Is the skin peeling off of my face?"
"No."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
I asked him again.
He said, "Your skin is red. Your forehead and nose."
