In Memoriam: Challenger

Today marks the eighteenth anniversary of the Challenger disaster. Janutary 28, 1986, was one of the most significant moments in my childhood. All sorts of dreams became suddenly uncertain, and the dangers of spaceflight became suddenly all too apparant.

May we remember the seven who were lost that day with appreciation and honor them for the risk they took so that humankind might explore the stars.
