January 28, 1986 - The day the Challenger disentegrated 70+ seconds after lift-off. I was on my way to work on that colder than usual morning in SE Virginia when I heard on the radio that the Challenger was to lift off with Christa McAuliffe on-board.
I was a New Hampshire college student, and Ms. McAuliffe was a teacher from Concord, N.H. It was a devastating and unbelievable event.

My brother-in-law was one of the finalists for the ‘teacher in space’.
