In memorium...

25 years ago, NASA's 25th mission went terribly wrong.

I was 6 years old, watching the shuttle launch from my desk in my first grade classroom.

After only 73 seconds, the Challenger exploded.  There were no survivors.

My mom was watching at home with my 4 year old brother...he apparently turned to her and asked her if the people were ok, and it almost made her cry.

Here's to those curious enough, adventurous enough, brave enough to explore those places few have ever dared to even dream about.

Challenger: 25 years later, a still painful wound

space, death
