What is the name of the American physicist and NASA astronaut who died during the launch of the Space Shuttle 'Challenger', and for the victims of which was held the 'Rendez-vous Houston', the largest outdoor concert in history by musician Jean Michel Jarre?
Rendez-vous Houston Rendez-vous Houston: A City in Concert was a live performance by musician Jean Michel Jarre amidst the skyscrapers of downtown Houston on the evening of April 5, 1986, coinciding with the release of the "Rendez-Vous" album. For a period of time, it held a place in the "Guinness Book of Records" as the largest outdoor "rock concert" in history, with figures varying from 1 to 1.5 million in attendance. Rendez-vous Houston is remembered for being the concert which celebrated the astronauts of the Space Shuttle "Challenger" disaster, which had happened only two and a half months earlier. One of Jarre's friends, astronaut Ron McNair, had been killed in the disaster. He was supposed to play the saxophone from space during the track "Last Rendez-Vous"; his substitute for the concert was Houston native Kirk Whalum.
