Yeah she helped teach a lesson from space ok, a lesson from god. Don't waste billions playing around when people are dying. You can't even buy a slurpee in space, there's no reason to go there. For all that money we got zip, nada nothing but some crap agency trying to steal credit for velcro and tang.

I was in 4th grade when it happened. we all did not understand what had happened. I just thought that it was part of the launch. Having followed the space program since Sally Ride flew 3 years before, i was so excited that a teacher, just like my own would be flying into space. IF only i had gotten Christa's autograph does anyone have their autographs. Now i have 5 challenger crew members autographs, Scobee, Smith, Resnik Onizuka and Mcnair. I am still looking for Jarvis and Christa's.

It's so sad what happened...I was named after her, and the astronaut Judith. So my name is Crista Judith. Even though it was awhile ago but...rest in peace guys. You didn't deserve to die like that. =(

What a wonderful video! Thank you for putting this together and sharing it with all of us around the world. The world is indeed a better place because of these few, who dare to lead us all into the future. May the Challenger Crew rest in peace and may light perpetual shine upon them.
