Patty said it very well. This was personal to us all. Thinking of that day I feel a void as if the wind was knocked out of us. Overwhelmed as if emotion was absent in that surreal moment like a pressure yet to be released through a pinhole for the rest of our lives. We lived by NASA by Clear Lake, TX during this time. And yet, the whole country felt part of the community of the seven we lost that day reminding us of the reality of the risk they all take for mankind. The very few the very brave. Vaya con Dios to our best. For certainly you have.
Another American day of remembrance. I will never forget where I was and the feelings of disbelief and deep sadness that washed over me when I heard about the tragic loss of the seven astronauts aboard the Challenger. The profound words of President Reagan resonated throughout the nation. We recently visited a memorial garden in Hawaii for Col. Ellison Onizuka and we have visited the memorial for the seven astronauts at the Houston Space Center many times. They were brave pioneers who left an indelible mark on America’s space exploration. The American spirit continued to pushed on. Today we are still on this journey and private entrepreneurs are participating in exciting ways.
Yes, I remember well where I was and what I was doing when the Challenger exploded. I was in the terminal of DIA waiting to board a plane to Dallas. I was watching on a monitor, and it was such a sad experience. The rest of my trip was sad. Such a waste of human life when those brave seven people gave their lives for science.
That was a terrible day for America. I was working in ER and had stepped out to the waiting room to watch the launch. I stood there in disbelief, trying to understand what I saw. Sadness.
A sad day indeed for all of us, but especially for the astronauts and their families. Such a sacrifice made for American progress, although on that day it was as if America’s enthusiasm for progress took a back seat to the mourning.
Thank you, Tara! I was in a room full of programmers, one of whom had brought in a small TV to watch the launch. He mildly swore when the explosion happened and relayed it to all of us. What a sad day as we realized what they had given for the sake of science. We will never forget them indeed.
I remember it very well as I was working in Florida and watching the liftoff, I knew when it blew up that something terrible happened. I had seen many launches and none did what happened that day. There was hope and speculation that morning but that was soon lost. Reagan's speech later was sad but hopeful as we as a nation mourn the loss of those brave astronauts.
I remember this tragedy very well, as I was watching the launch on TV. What a sad, sad, incident. Our space program has shown the courage and heroism of American astronauts, as every one of them has risked their life. I was able to watch the space shuttle Discovery launch in 2005 and it was a beautiful sight and such a compliment to American technology. Thank you Tara for bringing this historical event to our attention. We Shall Never Forget......

Thank you, Tara, for remembering this sad story.
I came back from lunch in 7th grade to learn from my science teacher this happened. Thanks for keeping their memory alive, Tara Ross 🇺🇸🇺🇲😭
