The people in the Challenger disaster

More about the seven who trained, left their loved ones to go into space, and instead of having a great achievement, died in the Challenger accident.

 I have too many other things pulling on my time and attention to give proper credit to these 7 heroes and heroines. But I may just get some space sometime to find out more about them.

    In a strange way, it has been good to have been reminded of this event.

    I didn't know about the memorial, but it makes sense to be there.

Thanks for commenting! I tried moderating, thinking that would be a quicker way to check on comments, but actually it takes more time. So go ahead and talk amongst yourselves, and I'll check in when I can!!
