I remember 40 years ago today, when I was in second grade, passing the post office and asking my mom why the flags were lowered.
She explained the #Challenger tragedy.

We lost
Francis R. Scobee, Commander
Michael J. Smith, Pilot
Donald McNair, Mission Spec
Ellison Onizuka, Mission Spec
Judith Resnik, Mission Spec
Gregory Jarvis, Payload Spec
Christa McAuliffe, Payload SpecWe know why it happened - and nasa instituted many changes intended to improve our safety profile. The entire agency trains on that this day every year.
A few years later, I personally benefitted from the nasa program in memory of teacher Christa McAuliffe.
My 5th grade science teacher built us a dream science lab. It was a real inspiration for me.
Some kid in flyover country.One day, a reporter from the local paper even stopped by, and I attach that front page below. You can guess which one is me.

On this day, it's critical that acknowledge that we've seen before what's now happening.
In the 1930ies the world leaders could have stopped Fascism & the Holocaust, but did not.Let's not dishonor this day by repeating the same mistakes #DayofRemembrance

In 2014 when I attended a #NASASocial to cover #SpaceX #CRS3 #CargoDragon launch to #ISS, #NASA gave a tour of the Vehicle Assembly Building. There's an #STS107 sign on the wall where recovered parts from Columbia were stored after the investigation. #DayOfRemembrance #space #history

One of the #STS107 Columbia eyewitnesses, Chris Valentine, got copies of videos from eyewitnesses (same ones as entered into accident investigation evidence) and synced them in a timeline with Mission Control audio. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQ1BfJZgMN0#NASA #DayOfRemembrance #space #history

Ad Astra per Aspera... In the ruins of Onizuka AFS, Sunnyvale, California was an off the books Space Shuttle Columbia Memorial. It was behind what was the tank and antenna farm for the Blue Cube. It has been vandalized beyond recognition now sadly. I came across it in 2018 and tried to get the USAF or NASA to at least try to preserve it to no avail.
To the crew of STS 107, your courage will never be forgotten.

When we organized gatherings in 2004 & 2005 in SJ for #STS107 Columbia photographers & eyewitnesses, we found everyone who went out to see the re-entry experienced a mourning reaction as if we knew the crew, unlike those who saw it on news. #NASA #DayOfRemembrance #space #history

Mt Hamilton near San Jose was unique on the 1000+ mile corridor where #STS107 eyewitnesses met each other that morning. I was talking via Ham Radio with Don AA6W who was on the Santa Cruz Mountains. Everywhere else eyewitnesses were alone. (Many eyewitnesses on Mt Hamilton met when we all pulled over at a turnout near the summit after viewing the re-entry pass.) #NASA #DayOfRemembrance #space #history

#STS107 is personal for me. On Feb 1, 2003 I drove up Mt Hamilton to get above the fog and see the pre-dawn Columbia re-entry. I became an eyewitness to disaster, a billowing smoke trail instead of the expected meteor streak of prior re-entries. #DayOfRemembrance #space #history

21 years ago, Feb 1, 2003: #STS107 Space Shuttle Columbia re-entry accident, 7 dead. Investigation later found plausible ways to rescue crew if #NASA managers had looked into observed ice impact on orbiter during launch. https://www.nasa.gov/remembering-columbia-sts-107/ #DayOfRemembrance #space #history

57 years ago: Jan 27, 1967: #Apollo1 pad fire, 3 dead. Article by @AstronomyMag from November covers the history. Lessons learned turned out to become factors in the later successful #Apollo #Moon landings. https://www.astronomy.com/space-exploration/apollo-1-tragedy-the-fatal-fire-and-its-aftermath/ #NASA #DayOfRemembrance #space #history
