Smith; Payload specialist Christa McAuliffe; Mission Specialist Ellison Onizuka; and Payload specialist Gregory Jarvis. (NASA)
“I would like to humanize the space age
by giving a perspective from a non-astronaut, because I think the
students will look at that and say, ‘This is an ordinary person. This
ordinary person is contributing to history.’”—Christa McAuliffe (September 2, 1948–January 28, 1986)
I remember watching the launch in class. What a terrible day that was.
(226/365) The theme song from one of your favorite childhood movies: Still bumming on James Horner’s death.
(225/365) A song you really like but keep procrastinating looking up the rest of the album: I still don’t own Lightning Bolt. I don’t know why I never bought the album, I have everything through Backspacer.
(224/365) A song you like by a singer with red hair: If you listen closely, you can hear the same vocals that are featured in Flogging Molly songs. It’s the same lead singer, Dave King.
(223/365) A song you have named a pet/car/object/child after – or would: My first truck was the great white whale.
(222/365) A song that makes you think of Autumn: The B-sides to the Ava Adore single are to this day some of my favorite Pumpkins songs of all time. As to autumn, I don’t know, it goes back to how this era made me feel.
