NASA is holding its annual Day of Remembrance today to honor the crew members of Apollo 1 and space shuttles Challenger and Columbia, as well as other NASA employees who have lost their lives while advancing space exploration.
This year marks the 15th anniversary of Columbia’s last space shuttle mission, which suffered a catastrophic and fatal end. The unfortunate event shook the science community and the public, but the lessons taken away from the incident overhauled NASA’s approach to safety concerns and future space travel.

How did they know the Challenger astronauts had dandruff?
They found their Head and Shoulders on the beach.

Muslim outreach was probably more dangerous for NASA.

Challenger jokes were always the one thing that made me feel like shite for laughing at.

You’re right I’ll edit title

Yeah I don’t remember this either. At first I thought wait this happened over 30 years ago but that was challenger. What exactly happened here and why do I remember challenger and not this one?

I was squirrel hunting and we saw it blow up in the sky. A piece fell in a field a few miles from us

The tiles on the underside were damaded by foam when taking off and it disintegrated on reentry.

Lost my virginity that day . I was 15. Tragic day, but it's a day I remember both.

Where did they find debris? I recall parts of Texas and Louisiana, anywhere else?
Posted on 1/25/18 at 6:13 pm to DavidTheGnome
