This day in 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger blew up during lift off. I was only 1 year old when this happened. I remember my mom telling me that she was feeding me my bottle when she watched this on tv. Where were you when this happened?
The Challenger was the second shuttle built by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). It took its first flight into space on April 4, 1983, and made a total of nine voyages prior to January 1986. The 10th trip for Challenger included a teacher from New Hampshire, Christa MacAuliffe, among the astronauts, as part of a new Teacher in Space project. (history.com)
