“I remember when I was a kid my first real confrontation with space travel was when the Challenger exploded and I remember how traumatic that was for me, because I remember watching that on the news and all the children in our class were watching.” FirstsChildrenRealKidsRememberSpaceClassNewsRemember WhenConfrontationSpace Travel Author:Jonathan Nolan
“One of my first experiences with the space program was with the memorial that was built for the Challenger. When I was in 7th grade my entire class spent the entire school year preparing to launch a spaceship all together. We all had our different jobs that we had to learn how to do, we learned the math that you needed, we learned the practical skills that you needed, and I thought that was really cool. So I think that if you can take a tragedy and find the gold in it and turn it into something positive, that's great.” IfsThinkingYearsFirstsDifferentSchoolTogetherJobsTurnsSpaceClassNeededSkillsBuiltProgramGoldTragedyMathPracticalsGradesPreparingMemorialReally CoolSpaceshipsDifferent JobsSpace ProgramSchool YearsPractical Skills Author:Jonathan Nolan
