Today is the 25th Anniversary of the Challenger Shuttle disaster. My pic today is a tribute to those who have lost their lives pushing back the frontiers of human knowledge.
"We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and 'slipped the surly bonds of Earth' to 'touch the face of God.'
(R. Reagan quoting J.G. Magee Jr).
I couldn't believe it was 25 years! I remember it so clearly. It was such a horrifying moment as realisation hit that the shuttle had exploded. Lovely tribute.
