40 years ago today, the Challenger space shuttle exploded, killing all seven crew members. @TheAutopian@flipboard.com's Jason Torchinsky writes about his memories of the day, the impact the disaster had, why it happened, and what it taught him about hope and humanity. "Maybe knowing that things can go wrong, horribly wrong, is a reality we should all keep in the back of our minds, and find a way to know it’s there and keep going anyway." https://flip.it/50b7_r #History #SpaceTravel #Challenger #InMemoriam

It's been 40 years. I still remember it well. I was in school. It's a few days till my 10th bday. Our (very small, maybe 14 kids) 4th grade class stopped our studies and tuned in the launch. The surreal moment of watching the explosion grow while the announcer calmly continued reporting the stats before realizing there was a problem. The teacher having to explain what we just watched. The day we learned that going to space is still a very difficult task. #Challenger

🕯️ Triste anniversaire en ce 28 janvier : il y a 40 ans, en 1986, la Navette Spatiale #Challenger explosait en vol et tuait ses 7 passagers. Mon article sur cet accident qui marque à jamais l'histoire spatiale : https://reves-d-espace.com/anniversaire-il-y-a-30-ans-laccident-de-la-navette-challenger/
