        One absolutely horrible day! Right up there with 9/11, the Oklahoma bombing, JFK assassination and Pearl Harbor!

        I still believe Reagans staff forced this launch so he could mention the Teacher in space during his #SOTU

        A bandmate of mine is a retired science teacher and was a colleague of Christa McAuliffe. He is still haunted at times by her loss. He's mentioned it.
