Hard to believe, I know, but today marks the 22nd anniversary of the loss of CHALLENGER. While many people here will have their own very personal memories of that godawful day... I know I do... it strikes me that that's now so long ago that many of our younger members won't remember it, or weren't even born then, so anyone wanting to learn more about what happened should go here: Challenger -------------------- |

The shuttle program is all about low Earth orbit. Why would validation
come from doing something else entirely? The validation came in continuing on and building the space station, unfortunately not without a second disaster. |
