I remember just thinking over and over at the time, "Why did it have to be the mission with the TEACHER on board??"
I'm sure everybody on board knew very well there was a risk...nothing great ever happens without risk.
There is a science center named in memory of McAuliffe and Shepard up in Concord NH, you can see the mockup of a rocket from 93 (east side). Took my daughter up to the center when she was young, also made many stops in Concord to grab dinner on the way up to or back from skiing over the years....Boloco was a favorite while it was open.
