Remembering Challenger

Photo Copyright NASA
Twenty years ago on January 28, 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger blew up 73 seconds after take-off killing all 7 astronauts. It is a day none of us will ever forget. As President Reagan said in his Address to the Nation, quoting the poem High Flight by John G. Magee, Jr., "they...slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God."
