Today is the 23 anniversary of the Challenger tragedy. It was a day that strongly affected me as a young person and scientist in the making. Most people remember Christa McAuliffe, scheduled to be the first Teacher in Space. I would like to especially acknowledge Ronald E. McNair, a physicist, graduate of North Carolina A & T University, and an inspiration to me.
Thank you Ellison Onizuka, Christa McAuliffe, Greg Jarvis, Judith Resnik, Mike Smith, Dick Scobee, and Ron McNair--the crew of STS-51-L--for inspiring future scientists and engineers, then and now.
