It was January 28th, 1986, and I was still in high school. The teacher got a call and when she got off the phone, she called for everyone’s attention. While her voice crackled, she announced that the Space Shuttle Challenger, with the first teacher on board, blew up on its way to space.
STS-51-L was supposed to be a new era in space, by allowing a teacher to climb aboard and actually give a lesson in space. But it turned out to be far from that.
I’ll never forget that day – a day we should never forget.
