25th Anniversary- Space Shuttle Challenger disaster

[HappyH]

Didn't realise this was 25 years ago today, 28/Jan/1986, still remember it pretty vividly. Link here to an episode (1hr 40mins) of Ch4's Countdown to Disaster
Challenger: Countdown to Disaster - 4oD - Channel 4
Some quotes from the then President Reagan

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'

&

Sometimes, when we reach for the stars, we fall short. But we must pick ourselves up again and press on despite the pain

Damn shame, especially if it could have been prevented
