25 Years

"I touch the future, I teach" Christa McAuliffe

Even though my children were not yet in school I was working on expanding their little minds as I sat them down in front of the television. At first they were disappointed they weren't going to watch cartoons. But as pictures of the Challenger were shown on the screen their interest was piqued. And then horror...I wanted to show them the wondrous technology that allowed us to go up in space and back again but there was a problem, and an explosion and the loss of life.

I don't remember exactly what I said in way of an explanation but I do remember there were tears in my eyes...

Today we remember the Challenger and her crew....
