It was 30 years ago this week that New Hampshire teacher Christa McAuliffe boarded the Space Shuttle Challenger ready to teach a class from outer space. Tragically, we all know that didn't happen.

If you were alive on Tuesday, January 28, 1986, you remember where you were. I stayed home from school and decided to watch the launch on television.

Roger Wood, former WOKQ newsman wrote a magnificent article for InDepthNH on his journey to the Kennedy Space Center to report live from the Space Shuttle Challenger's liftoff.

Take a few minutes to read this piece that Roger wrote. His words express the feelings we all felt that day. Feelings of loss, horror, shock and disbelief.
