Country remembers Challenger
The Associated Press
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Space workers preparing for resumption of shuttle flights paused to pay silent tribute yesterday to the seven astronauts who died two years ago in the fiery Challenger disaster. It was one of many remembrances around the country.
Tour buses stopped, cafeteria lines halted, and hundreds of engineers, technicians and other workers poured out of buildings at 11:38 a.m.
the moment when Challenger lifted off Jan. 28, 1986.
Flags around the Kennedy Space Center were lowered to half-staff, while workers stood silent for 73 seconds, the length of the fatal Challenger flight. The air was chilly, the sky clear, a grim reminder of the frigid conditions that contributed to the space shuttle's destruction.
At the Johnson Space Center in Houston, workers held a quiet, 73-second observance, and officials at
the marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., encouraged workers to observe the anniversary in their own way.
In Concord, N.H., students at Concord High school paused at the beginning of classes to remember Christa McAuliffe, their city's social sciences teacher who died in the shuttle explosion. She was aboard as NASA's first citizen-in-space and was to have taught lessons from orbit to schools around the country.
At McAulife's grave overlooking the New England city, flowers lay atop the black marble marker; deep snow partially obscured the inscription.
In Washington, Sen. John Glemn,
D-Dhoio, the first American to orbit
the Earth, in 1962, issued a statement
in which he said, "We owe it to the
Challenger astronauts to pursue an
aggressive space program. Their
sacrifice will have meaning only if
we learn from it and move forward."
