t we will ne Tragedy, whether it be on a local, national or personal scale, leaves physical as well as emotional scars on the victims and the survivors. ln the last year tragedy rocked our nation. On january 28, 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded shortly after lift-off from Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, Florida. No problems were apparent at the time of Iiftoff, but 73 seconds into flight, the Challenger began experiencing complications which resulted in the unfortunate deaths of all seven crew members. Crew members included commanding officer of the Challenger Francis Scobee, ludith Resnick, operator of the spacecraft's remote-control arm, Christa McAuliffe, the first ordinary citizen to go into space, Ellison Onizuka, filmer of Haley's Comet with a hand-held camera, Gregory larvis, conductor of experiments to determine the weightlessness on fluid contained in tanks which would help in the design of future communications satellites. Two of the spacecraft's crew members hailed from North Carolina: Ronald McNair, who graduated from A8tT and Michael Smith who graduated from Carteret High School in Beaufort. These seven men and women, diversified in race, sex, and aspiration, embodied the ideals of America. We salute them, their families, and all members of the NASA family, and hope that the space program will advance, and that their lives were not lost in vain. Cummings paid homage to the seven crew members of the Challenger by lowering its flag to half-staff. IN MEMORY Timothy McKenzie lune 28, 1967 February 21, 1985 ver forget ou. 1 President Reagan
