THE CHALLENGER
On January 28th, 1986, at 11:39 AM EST, the space shuttle Challenger lifted off from Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, and disintegrated just 73 seconds after liftoff, killing all seven astronauts on board. Addressing the nation that night, President Ronald Reagan said, “The future doesn't belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave. We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for the journey and waved goodbye and slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God." Visit our Facebook page to share your memories of this national tragedy.
