27 years ago, Francis R. Scobee, Michael J. Smith, Ellison S. Onizuka, Judith A. Resnik, Ronald E. McNair, Gregory B.Jarvis and S. Christa McAuliffe payed the ultimate price for reach for space-on January 28, 1986 their Space Shuttle "Challenger" launched from Cape Caneveral and flew just 16 miles, until all 7 crew members ended in a fire ball.

I watched it live. I just happen to have to go to Radio Shack to get some parts for my employer and they had it on the TV. When it blew up the guy next to me said, "I wonder what all the pieces flying away are." I looked at him and said, "People". That and watching the planes hitting the towers live is burn into my memory forever.

Haven't they found out that the cabin was likely intact after the explosion and that alll astronauts remained in there until impact?
