Everyone ' s Loss: A Nation Mourns A Nation Mourns was the headline we saw in magazines, newspapers, and on T.V. for weeks. Months later there were still more questions than answers as to what caused the accident that took the lives of the seven astronauts on January 28, 1986. This Challenger mission was the twenty-fifth shuttle mission. The crew was comprised of Commander Francis Scobee. Judith Resnik. Ronald McNair, Mi- chael Smith, Ellison Onizuka. Gregory Jar- vis, and school teacher, from Concord, New Hampshire, Christa McAuliffe. Since maior portions of the rocket boosters and shuttle and even the remains of the astronauts were recovered, the an- swers to the questions will eventually be found. Whether it was the O-rings on the boosters or some other fault, there was definitely a leak coming from either the rocket boosters or the external fuel tanks. The leaking fuel ignited and gradually grew from a small flame into the final ex- plosion. The tragedy forced people to ask if the space shuttle program should be contin- ued. Most students and faculty felt the same way as the majority of the public. that the program should continue: ! be- lieve the shuttle program should be con- tinued because this country has too much invested in it to stop, commented Derek Schaper. And although there will no doubt be a long delay before the program starts up again, we must continue to expand our space program. The exploration of space is a challenge Americans need. We must continually look forward to what the fu- ture holds. ■ H T :|Br fci i HH j BI
