I saw one shuttle take off in my life - it was the Challenger, the year before. It was an incredible site, the excitement in the crowd, the anticipation of the launch, the blast off, the movement of the ground and the awe of the kids and adults alike. An amazing experience to see.
The next year I saw the tragedy on television. How devastating for all. |

A ceremony at the Kennedy Space Center this morning is honoring the seven members of the Challenger crew who were lost 25 years ago today.
The planned six-day flight ended when the space shuttle's orbiter exploded 73 seconds after takeoff. June Scobee Rodgers, the widow of Cmdr. Dick Scobee, will be one of many speakers honoring her husband and the members of his crew. The ceremony is taking place in front of The Space Mirror Memorial. This memorial lists the names of 24 U.S. astronauts who lost their lives while exploring space. The seven lives were lost in the Challenger explosion: Dick Scobee, commander; Michael J. Smith, pilot; Ellison Onizuka, mission specialist; Judy Resnik, mission specialist; Ron McNair, mission specialist; Gregory Jarvis, payload specialist; and Christa McAuliffe, payload specialist and teacher. This mission was to take the first teacher, Christa McAuliffe, up into space. Her widow, Steven McAuliffe, released a statement saying that his family finds it "comforting and inspirational" that people across the country continue to remember his wife and her Challenger crew members.
