Astronaut (1948 - 1986)

Americans still ask, "Where were you when the Challenger exploded?". The loss of the space shuttle 73 seconds after liftoff on January 28, 1986 stands as one of the most tragic days in the nation's history. Aboard the ship was a Social Studies teacher from Concord High School in Concord, NH. As part of a new NASA initiative, Sharon Christa McAuliffe was became "teacher in space", a person who could describe her experience to the rest of us. Born in nearby Framingham, MA, McAuliffe attended the state university there, majored in history and married her high school sweetheart. Selected for the novel program from 11,500 applicants, McAuliffe trained with the six astronauts who also perished in the accident witnessed by millions of television viewers. Today her name has been adopted by schools across the nation as a symbol of heroism and the relentless quest for knowledge.
