    Jan 28, 1985: I was one of the accident investigators. NASA knew there were serious problems but launched anyway. @NASA wanted publicity & the press was leaving after waiting a couple days. Well, they got their publicity. #Challenger #Challengeraccidenthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4JOjcDFtBE …

        I have an ex-NASA friend who always insisted it was the Reagan admin pushing for a launch. Not saying I agree with that, but it sounds like there was a lot of finger-pointing

        It was Congress that was pressuring NASA because the space shuttle had not lived up to its hype.

        Yeah they got that publicity, and at a terrible cost.

        Still breaks my heart to this day. So tragic. I was a freshman in high school and they stopped all classes to show this live since a teacher was on board. We were in shock to say the least.

        I’ll never forget that day. 7th grade. We were all watching on TV. We sat in stunned silence.
