Remember the Brave Dreamers
Twenty-four years ago today, Space Shuttle Challenger was destroyed, disintegrating in midflight in the second minute of its 10th mission. All seven astronauts on board were lost.
I was in 2nd grade, gathered around a small television at a school assembly to watch the shuttle launch. I don't remember any other part of that day, but I remember that moment when I understood what had just happened.
