    I'm actually watching a show on the History Channel about this. Pretty interesting stuff. I wasn't alive at the time, but I remember hearing about it on the news at the 10 year mark. Truly a sad event.
    Boy am I an unfunny ass.

    Seven Columbia astronauts were killed cataclysmically in space catastrophe (including Christa McAuliffe) , they were buried in a coffin, they went to heaven with God. *sob*. Our memories remember seven Columbia Challenger heroes.

    Christa McAuliffe was on Challenger, not Columbia. And Columbia was on February 1st, 2003, 17 years and 4 days after Challenger.
    Is that your final answer?

    Man's never ending desire to be amoung the stars. Despite all our scientific knowledge of them there's still something primatively exoctic about them.

    I wouldn't have been old enough to remember this, I was only 1.

    But there's a film called "Koyanasqatsi"(its part of a trilogy the other two: Powannasqatsi and Noyanasqatsi) but in this film at the end the film photage is coupled with some music that reminds me of the depressing soundtrack from "Princess Vampire Myune."

    Atleast I think it's the same photage and if it's not then it'd be equally as moving, though to be honest I have a hard time finding any emotional connection for a particular person the image itself is just a grotesque display of human ingenuiety and sense of organization coupled with the harsh reality of mortality and chaos.

    Boldly go.

    And how does that relate to the Challenger tragedy?

    I was almost three, but I still don't remember it.

    I wasn't even born until three years after the tragedy.

    When I said "the film photage was coupled with music" I ment the photage from the Challanger Tragedy.

    Because the director of the movie edited just a bunch of different things together filmed by other people.

    So. Everything. Possibly.

    Boldly go.

    What? You were one of Christa McAuliffe's students?

    I was... about 3 years old at the time, but I can vaguely recollect hearing about this disaster. My family was hugely interested in the space programme, so we always paid attention to relevant news.

    Space exploration is one of the few avenues of human endeavour that still gives me hope for the future...

    No. I remember being confused and thinking that. They just kept saying a teacher was killed. I was pretty young you must remember.
