Last week, we talked about the ethics and regulations around sending private citizens to space, but one thing we didn’t linger on much was the lasting impact of Christa McAuliffe; the teacher slated to become the first private citizen to space before she was killed in the Challenger disaster.
So today, we’ve got a series of stories and interviews that are all part of NHPR’s series “Remembering Christa: 40 Years After the Challenger.”
We’ll hear from a local journalist that covered her story, the students she mentored, and the community charged with remembering her legacy.
These stories were reported and produced by Patrick McNameeKing.
