The crew of Challenger mission STS 51-L

January 28, 1986

"We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for the journey and waved goodbye and slipped the surly bonds of Earth to touch the face of God."

... President Ronald Reagan


This page is dedicated to the Space Shuttle Challenger, and to the seven-member crew of mission 51-L who gave their lives in the ongoing exploration of space.  May they rest in eternal peace, and may they never be forgotten.
