Yesterday was the 30th anniversary of the Challenger explosion.
I remember how cold that morning was. My dumptruck: Rhonda, was stranded behind Tom's (then called "Weavers"). After we jumped her and brought her home we settled on the couch to watch the shuttle launch.
"Oh my God." I cried, "It blew up." The news people on CNN were just blabbing as if nothing had happened, and even the NASA feed was jabbering as if everything was proceeding normally.
When the committee conducted it's investigation, one of the pieces of evidence deemed "off limits' were the White House phone logs to Houston, in which Donald Regan (Bonzo's chief of staff) ordered the scientists at Mission Control, to "Get that thing up!"
Reagan wanted to talk to the first teacher in space, as a stunt, during his State of the Union speech that night.
Yet another massive crime perpetrated by "Saint" Reagan, for which he was given a pass by his wide-eyed acolytes.
