We also lost Challenger 25 years ago this month. A lot of history, it seems...:(

I was home sick in 7th grade that day. Earlier that morning before the disaster, I remember clearly on the radio that the CJ series Jeep was being halted for the Wrangler.

A week from today will be the eighth anniversary of the loss of Columbia.

Remember that day well. At the time, I worked for a software vendor who sold our product to both NASA and Morton Thiokol (maker of the fuel tank that exploded). Not fun being on the support line that week!
