Challenger 20th

I was surprised upon being reminded by the news today was the 20th anniversary of the space shuttle Challenger exploded shortly after liftoff, killing 7 astronauts, including teacher Christa McAuliffe. 20 years...wow.

I remember that sad day. Was 15 at the time and in 9th grade. Just before lunch, was in Alegebra class when we found out the news. The rest of the afternoon was pretty much shot for teaching as I remember most classrooms had TV tuned to the continuing coverage. That was all anyone was talking about.
