    Christa was a remarkable person, little mentioned was Christa's backup Barbara Morgan, who is often seen in the videos next to Christa and went through the same training side by side with her. 12 years after Challenger, Barbara was selected as a full time Astronaut and went through full Astronaut training. And finally 21 years after Challenger in 2007 she flew into space as a Mission Specialist and STS 118 Shuttle Endevaour.

    I was born 11 years after the disaster, but looking at this footage and hearing what she had to say before the tragedy remains inspirational and a defining image of the heart and drive of America. I cried the first time I learned about this story at school years ago. We need more people like her now more than ever, especially with a troublesome, uninspired, and worrisome generation that we face now. I'm tired of hate ruling America.

    I've found this immensely moving. I came here upon learning the exceptional Michelle Williams will be playing Christa McAuliffe in a film. Christa's impact was so profound and her message so illuminating: "Dreaming is okay." I'll be holding onto those words.

  • @I_WANT_MY_SLAW

    Her story seemed way to good to be true. Like something out of a fairy tale storybook. She had quite the charmed life. So tragedy was bound to strike. What's sad about this, is that it was originally planned as a celebration of Christa McAuliffe, but they had to rework it as a remembrance. Her life was beautiful. She was good at everything growing up, very intelligent, very attractive, very popular, she married her high school sweetheart, everyone who knew her, loved her, she loved her rather modest teaching job, and all her students loved her. And against all the odds, she was picked out of thousands to ride as the teacher for the Challenger shuttle mission. Had the spaceship never blew up, she would've lived the most charmed life ever. She would've been regarded as an all American hero. She would've been revered a generation of kids for life. All the kids who attended school in the 80s, and watched her lessons live. She would've wrote bestselling books, made millions of dollars, done tons of speaking engagements, traveled from school to school all over America, if not the world, talking to kids, gotten every award, and medal possible, probably would've hosted her own childrens television show, and even a show on CNN or PBS, had a movie made about her starring Julia Roberts. Appeared on shows like Mr. Rogers, Hollywood Squares, and Larry King Live. Been a contestant on Dancing With The Stars, or The Masked Singer. She would've been a superstar.

    So confident, so well-spoken, so passionate, if she was a politician, I would vote for her. It wasn't just someone happy to be in space, she was passionate to try this out and to hear her wanting to go back to the class, just breaks my heart. The way she spoke about children pursuing their dreams makes me think the kids really loved her and she wasn't just celebrated by them because she taught there. As a teacher, she is my inspiration.

Unusually heavy snow here in North Carolina where I live...... so no school. I was sitting in front of the TV watching this when it happened. Never forget seeing Mrs. McAuliffe's parents and the other family members expressions of horror. I couldn't imagine what they were going through.

      A long tele-meeting by phone between Nasa and Thiokol management was made in the evening of the 27 of January 1986, 12 hours before the liftoff. The problem with O-ring seal behavior at very low temperatures was definitely known and on first instance the launch was postponed by the contractor's though resistance. Then the high pressure made by Nasa HQ on them changed their minds and after a long discussion the NO became a YES. 😔

      It's from the poem "High Flight," by World War II pilot John Gillespie Magee, Jr.
      Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
      And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
      Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds -
      and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of -
      wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence.
      Hovering there I've chased the shouting wind along
      and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.
      Up, up the long delirious burning blue
      I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace,
      where never lark, or even eagle, flew;
      and, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
      the high untrespassed sanctity of space,
      put out my hand and touched the face of God.

    6:56 Back up Teacher in Space Barbara Morgan of Fresno, Cal. Even though she watched her counterpart die a death that very nearly was her own, Morgan stayed with NASA. She flew a Shuttle mission in 2007 to help build the International Space Station. That flight was delayed by the Columbia disaster. Even though Morgan did experiments later used to teach school children, NASA played down her role as a teacher, hoping not to focus attention back onto the death of Christa Mcauliffe. They designated Morgan a “NASA educator” as well as Mission Specialist who used the robotic arm to help build the ISS.

I just read a story where a young man was born at around 3 am on the 28 when she passed. This young man goes to Arlington National Cemetery on or around his Birthday to visit the Memorial in section 46 for the last 30 years because this had such an impact on him growing up ..You can go to Google Earth and go to the ON ground view and move to the memorial and walk up to it and see both the Columbia and Challenger Memorials ...
      Here is an excerpt from a Bio I found : "She obtained her first teaching position in 1970, as an American history teacher at Benjamin Foulois Junior High School in Morningside, Maryland. From 1971 to 1978, she taught history and civics at Thomas Johnson Middle School in Lanham, Maryland. In addition to teaching, she completed a Master of Arts in education supervision and administration from Bowie State University in Maryland. In 1978, she moved to Concord, New Hampshire, when Steven accepted a job as an assistant to the New Hampshire Attorney General. McAuliffe taught 7th and 8th grade American history and English in Concord, NH and 9th grade English in Bow, NH before taking a teaching post at Concord High School in 1983."...........................

      Crazy thing is 1 or 2 of them had gone up in Jan 85, believe it was.54 degrees and they had problems with Challenger in that weather. One said it was them who nearly met their fate but it would be a year later in freezing temps that this magnificent 7 would surely meet theirs. Media calling NASA comically errant and public expressing their dissatisfaction with aborts IMO played a role in pushing the launch. Judy had to of had reservations, she was as brilliant an engineer as they come.

    Nice tribute but some things are slightly wrong. 1:48 for example "The Challenger exploded", no.. it didn't explode. One of the SRB's broke the mounting point (due to o-ring failure and a jet of flame burning into the external fuel tank) and the SRB pivoted and broke away piercing the external fuel tank which caused a flash ignition of the contents but that did not "explode" the orbiter, it was the aerodynamic forces that broke the orbiter up into pieces. (the crew cabin survived the break up mostly intact and sadly the crew had to wait over 2 mins for the crew cabit to fall and slam into the ocean before they died. poor poor people, it must have been horrific)

    He visto este video homenaje a esa profesora, y digo que injusto que no pudo viajar al espacio. Miren su entusiasmo, su sonrisa, emocionada hasta las lagrimas. Quiza si hubiesen viajado el 22/01/86 como estaba planificado a lo mejor hubiese sido una exitosa mision y mac lauffe era la primer civil en la historia en llegar al espacio. Para la NASA por mas exitosas misiones espaciales que tengan de ahora en mas, quedaran traumados para siempre con esta tragedia.

      Unfortunately there isn't anything strange. These things just happen. She could have continued on and gad a longer life had they stopped the launch and gone another day. And probably be alive to this day.
      If there is reason it's not apparent anyway. I don't really believe in fate or destiny but you never know.

    A long tele-meeting by phone between Nasa and Thiokol management was made in the evening of the 27 of January 1986, 12 hours before the liftoff. The problem with O-ring seal behavior at very low temperatures was definitely known and on first instance the launch was postponed by the contractor's though resistance. Then the high pressure made by Nasa HQ on them changed their minds and after a long discussion the NO became a YES. 😔

    • @victoraustin2010
