The tragic death of the Challenger’s crew prompted memorial services nationwide. The service in Patrick County wa s broadcast for students to hear. Dennis Witt, Superintendent and Tracy Turman, SC A President, were but two of many speakers. January 28 provided a beautiful, but cold day for the space shuttle Challenger’s tenth flight. I Nation Mourns Challenger Crew On January 28, a beautifully clear crisp day at Cape Canav¬ eral, Florida, the frost had just shortly melted when NASA spokesmen gave the go-ahead for Space Shuttle Challenger to launch. Seven astronauts, Ron McNair, physicist, Greg Jar¬ vis, electrical engineer, Dick Scobee, flight commander, Ju¬ dith Reznik, engineer, Mi¬ chael Smith, pilot, Ellison On- izuka, aerospace engineer, and Christa McAuliffe, school¬ teacher, happily walked by the crowds who cheered them on by waving banners. Nothing about the launch seemed amiss. The shuttle thundered off the launch pad on schedule with picture-per¬ fect precision, but barely over a minute after liftoff with the spacecraft 10 miles high and approaching speeds of close to 2000 miles per hour, the craft exploded and was engulfed in a fiery cloud of smoke. Debris scatttered leaving trails of smoke, and the right solid rocket booster flew wildly out of the mass of smoke made by the explosion of the fuel tank. The risks were abundant and always apparent to those in the space program, but this mission and an attachment to ordinary people all over the Challenger Crew: (seated) Michael Smith, Dick Scobee, and Ron McNair, (standing) Ellison Onizuka, Christa McAuliffe, Greg Jarvis, and Judith Reznik. country because of Christa McAuliffe’s presence onboard the craft. She was a mother, a wife, a teacher, and she spoke out for her profession by tell¬ ing her students, “If I can do this, think what you can do!” An entire nation’s children were linked to this flight by the presence of Christa McAuliffe. As a teacher, she was a pioneer, and as long as there are frontiers to cross, there will be men and women to whom the challenge is worth the risk of their lives. Reaching for it all can be worth the price. 28 National News
