30th Anniversary of Challenger

Today is the 30th anniversary of the Space Shuttle Challenger accident. It is a day I will never forget since I was at work at NASA that day. Some bad decisions were made and politics got involved resulting in the loss of the astronauts.

In my room while at Auburn, and heard something about it on the radio that morning. Didn't think much of it , at first, but then went up and saw the coverage on t.v.

Terrible day.

I'll never forget that moment. I was having a cup of coffee with a customer in a coffee shop and we both sat there in silence watching a small TV. It was one of those things that leaves a permanent mark on the memory banks. Sad day for America.

Yep, before that, it was the Kennedy assassination. After, of course, it was 9-11.
