It is hard to believe that 25 years ago today, the Shuttle Challenger left for a routine mission, only to break apart 73 seconds later, killing all aboard.
I will never forget where I was at the time.
I was in high school, and I remember watching the footage on a small TV in a room adjoining the library in my school.
The entire nation was shell-shocked, and we mourned for our fellow Americans.
Though this event happened a quarter of a century ago, I remember it like it was yesterday.
Let us never forget the sacrifices that others have made to improve our quality of life and our curiosity for the unknown.

I totally remember it as well. Our science teacher tried out & made it to the top 100 finalist. So our school had it on live watching it when it happened! I remember going home & my mom just crying & it being on the news all night… such a scary time.
I cant believe its been 25 yrs…
