 "Nasa tells Beyonce not to trivialise 1986 tragedy with new song")
Nashville: NASA officials say the 1986 Space Shuttle Challenger accident “should never be trivialized” in response to a new song from Beyonce that features an audio sample recorded just after tragedy struck. The space agency issued a statement late Tuesday after the pop star began to receive criticism from Challenger families and others for using the short sample. It includes the words “major malfunction” as an allusion to a failed relationship.
