Hail Columbia! On 2/1/2003, 23 years ago today, mission control lost contact with Space Shuttle Columbia as it broke apart in flames about 203,000 feet over Texas. This was 16 minutes before it was supposed to touch down in Florida.

Remember the pioneers!

The final undoing for the crew was that #NASA had dispensed with an escape system in the design of the #SpaceShuttle -- for cost reasons. The cockpit was found largely intact. A parachute might have saved the lives of the seven deceased

I get a “This Day in History” email from history.com every day. Today’s one reminded me that 40 years ago, the Challenger space shuttle accident happened https://www.history.com/this-day-in-histor . I was a junior in high school and remember hearing about it over the loudspeaker. So many people were really sad that day. It feels like yesterday, but also a long time ago. #Challenger #SpaceShuttle #ThisDayInHistory

I watched with classmates on in 1986 as the exploded on live television. The principal thought watching would be great for us as teacher was on board. I still lament the fall in public funds/efforts.

Forty years ago today, I was a senior in high school sitting in my yearbook class when our teacher rolled a TV into our classroom and said, "the space shuttle just blew up." We all thought she was joking. It was obviously no joke.

Challenger: The disaster five people saw coming

Forty years ago, the Challenger space shuttle disintegrated just after lift-off, killing its crew and changing the history of spaceflight. A small team of engineers tried to prevent the tragedy — but they were overruled.
