We present these with minimal editing as you might have heard them at the actual event. Today in Exeter, Illinois Senator, Democrat Barack Obama, talked with about a hundred voters at a house party.

25 in 25 – Christa McAuliffe

By Richard Ager on Monday, August 20, 2007.

In 1984 Concord High School social studies teacher Sharon Christa McAuliffe was selected from thousands of applicants to be the first civilian in space. Two years later, her life would tragically end as Space Shuttle Challenger exploded 73 seconds after liftoff. Although Christa McAuliffe died that day, her legacy has lived on. Today, many teachers use Christa’s philosophy of teaching in their classrooms, Challenger Learning Centers have popped up across the county to encourage today’s youth to get excited about space and last week, Barbara Morgan, the runner-up to Christa McAuliffe in 1984, became the second teacher in space, on board Shuttle Endeavour. In this installment of our 25 in 25 series, we’ll look back at the life and legacy of Christa McAuliffe.

Guests

  • Mal Cameron: education specialist at the Christa McAuliffe Planetarium in Concord and coordinator of its Educator Resource Center
  • Robert Veilleux: longtime science teacher at Manchester Central High School and current part-time educator at the Christa McAuliffe Planetarium. In 1984, Robert was the other New Hampshire finalist for the Teacher in Space Program.
