@eastidahonews: Challenger exploded 73 seconds after launching on Jan. 28, 1986, claiming the lives of 7 astronauts. Were you alive 40 years ago? Do you remember this? #EastIdahoNews #TodayInHistory

Lccobra :

none of the astronauts passed away they changed their names and were giving free jobs and a boat load of money to keep it a secret.

Fun Fact: it looks like the spaceship is going diagonal but really it just looks like that because the Earth is spinning it's really going strait up ik its hard to think about but it's true.

Big Dixon Yermouth :

I remember this like it was yesterday. One thing that always stuck out though was the fact that Krista McAuliffe had extremely bad dandruff. I only know this because her Head & Shoulders washed ashore the next day...
