The United States' Space Program celebrat- ed 25 years of iourneys into the frontiers of the universe and yet it was struck by shock at the unexpected and tragic deaths of the ChaIIenger's brave shuttle crew iust 74 sec- onds after lift off. The in-flight fireball disintegration of the vehicle over Cape Canaveral occurred eight miles out from Kennedy Space Center in Florida when the huge external fuel tank exploded. We were forced beyond the 56th manned space launch and moved to reflect upon im- mortality, the tragic waste of lives and the machines human intelligence created. The in- spiration and dreams of those unique seven American heros pulled us into the future while it made us painfully aware of the risks taken as human beings. The space program and research will press on past this disaster which occurred 19 years and a day after a fire killed 3 Apollo astronauts on the launch pad. It will endure along with the human pioneering spirit ex- panding man's horizons and knowledge. - In Tribute - Commander Francis R. Scobee Pilot Michael J. Smith Mission Specialist Ronald E.
