Well tomorrow it will be 19 years since Challenger exploded. I can still remember it clearly, seeing it on the news and noting it in my diary Sad
Suddenly space travel had stopped being exciting and begun being dangerous...

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Yesterday - 27 JAN - was the anniversary of the Apollo 1 fire, in which US astronauts Grissom, Young Chafee, and White lost their lives.  NASA had a day of remembrance for the three major disasters they've had, Apollo1, Challenger, and Columbia.

================================
Corrected per post below...

(Thanks!)

Thats Grissom, White, and Chaffee.  Young wasn't a member of Apollo 1.
