I was in high school when the Space Shuttle Challenger launged into orbit on it's mission and carried, not just a civilian, but a TEACHER into space.

I sat in my Science 102 class as they trundled in a TV and showed us Miss McAuliffe teachus us and the rest of the country's high schoolers about physics and astronomy in zero G in space!! It was so wierd seeing her just FLOATING in mid air and puttin an object or something i nthe air and just letting it go and it just STAYED there.

Every day that whole school week we had our telepresence substitue science teacher that was in freaking ORBIT!.

It REALLY laid a trip on my head and I was not alone.

It turned a fancy for space into an obsession.

My question is, what if something had happened?

There was something I heard that Reagan wanted to launch the previous week but the Chief of NASA put his foot down and made it stick. I always wondered about that.
