It was on this day, 24 years ago, that 73 seconds after lift off, the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded, killing all on board.
To this day, we mourn the loss of seven courageous and brilliant lives:
Michael Smith, Dick Scobee, Judith Resnik, Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, Gregory Jarvis and Christa McAuliffe.
They were pioneers who wanted to reach for the stars......
Ronald Reagan summed it up best:
"We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for the journey and waved goodbye and 'slipped the surly bonds of earth' to 'touch the face of God'.
Godspeed, Crew of the Space Shuttle Challenger, your memory and dream are still alive.
