Christa is the teacher that died in the explosion,to be honest I thought the same thing when I just heard about it,until I searched a little.......I can still remember the day and my where-abouts when the first shuttle exploded,I was an apprentice on a two man crew,where were you?

[T-Man]

I remember it exploding but I think I was working at the control center that day.

[LostArt]

I was working at Barnett Bank when that went over the news. I was just 25 yrs old. My children were too small to even attend school then.

In her obituary,which she co-wrote with her partner,astronaut Sally Ride discloses publicly that she was gay......not that it matters...but she did have that gay look,just my opinion.

[reppy007]

I noticed the carrier had a CVN65 on it,Navy jargon....carrier vessel nuclear,does anyone know what the 65 stands for?Any naval guys out there want to share interesting things about the navy?While in the army,training with the marines,seals,ect back in the 80s I did learn that you still have to salute and ask permission to board a navy ship.And for you guys that have seen the old movies where the troops climb the net from a smaller vessel,its not so easy,Ive done it.When you have a small vessel next to a large vessel one will travel differently than the other,with all the wave activity you must judge the second to make your move,you can get crushed between them.
