#sts107 — Public Fediverse posts

A quirk of #space #history put all the the anniversary dates for #NASA crewed spaceflight tragedies a few days apart in late January and Feb 1.
• #Apollo1 pad fire: Jan 27, 1967 (59 years, 3 dead)
• Challenger #STS51L launch explosion: Jan 28, 1986 (40 years, 7 dead)
• Columbia #STS107 re-entry breakup: Feb 1, 2003 (23 years, 7 dead)
NASA holds a single "Day of Remembrance" one day each January, which was earlier than the historic dates this time, held Jan 22. https://www.nasa.gov/dor/
