Does the Challenger have any new improvements that the columbia
did not have???? Are their any real differences between the two??

Challenger is actually outfitted to be an operational vehicle.
This is space for 7 people, 4 in the cabin, 3 below decks,
and more cargo space.  It also has some improvements in
areas where the Columbia was found lacking in test
flights (that's what the test flights were for)
