All seven astronauts; Commander Frances R. Scobee, Pilot Michael J. Smith, Mission Specialist Judith A. Resnik, Mission Specialist Ellison S. Onizuka, Mission Specialist Ronald E. McNair, Payload Specialist Gregory B. Jarvis, and the first ever teacher to go into space S. Christa Corrigan McAuliffe, were killed. To learn more click here.

Pangloss Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Hard to believe it's been 20 years, isn't it? MSNBC is running an interesting 8-page story on the accident, including a timeline of events, investigation and historical perspective. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3077897/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
