The space shuttle challenger exploded on this day, 1976

200 people died including some animals. President Ronald Reagan gave an address that shook the Soviet’s into surrendering. When the dust settles, american was free once more. But we will never forget.

@rayp What do you think happened?

@brad We don’t know much about the woman teacher that was a broad the ship, but no one thought she blow the whole thing up. Regardless The Soviets watched in glee I’m sure, as they prepared to send another monkey or chimp up there so it could solve a rubics cube (again). Animals. Anyway the dreams of little girls becoming school teachers were all squashed so it’s pretty clear what industries aware at play and where Reagan really hung his accent up at night.

We should explore space more aggressively but also more coldly. Sending solo exploratory spacecraft towards the sun and there is a guy in there just streaming it and talking about it. I'm sure many would die for the honor and experience to do so.
