It is hard to believe that the Challenger explosion was 25 years ago today...
I had grand delusions of writing something profound on this anniversay, but the reality is that even now...
...there are no words.
At the time, I was a freshman at the University of New Hampshire and was gathered with a group of others who loved everything about space exploration in the lounge of our dorm to watch the launch...
... and then the utter shock... and then the endless replays...
For those of us who were (and are) fans of space exploration, it was an iconic moment that will forever be with us.
R.I.P., Challenger crew... and best wishes to all of their families on this anniversary.
