Today I have been thinking about Space since it is the 29th anniversary of the Challenger Tragedy. Last year I wrote about some of my memories of that day in Challenger Memories.
If you are in my generation or earlier you will most likely remember where you were that day. I was on a break from a college class when I found out.
It is hard to believe that it has been 29 years since that time.
Tonight I decided to just share a few more links to posts I have written about different Space programs.
The first one goes back to 1957. In my post Sputnik I shared some newspaper clippings from my Grandma’s Scrapbooks and also some of her thoughts from that time. They are a bit surprising.
Next in historical order is Friendship 7 where I shared clippings from when John Glenn orbited the earth. There is also a nice Frank Andrea Miller editorial cartoon and a picture of one of my favorite space mementos which was also given to me by my Grandma.
The last article is Moon Landing which has another Frank Andrea Miller cartoon plus more pictures of my favorite memento.
Now my mind is wandering to other posts that I have made about the moon like The Blood Red Moon, but I will spare you those links tonight.
Do you remember where you were when you heard about the Challenger Tragedy?
