Can't believe the US space program and NASA are all over! A huge salute to NASA and her astronauts since the 1960s. Defined my childhood as I met the original 7.

[WildAlaskanBlossom]

@paraguaycarol what? do you mean Obama shut that down? I didn't know that! why would he do that?

[SaganAppreciationSoc]

@paraguaycarol

They're not all over. When the economy improves, we'll get back on track.

Can't believe the US space program and NASA are all over!

Hard to believe that a quarter of a century has passed already. RIP Challenger Crew.

I Remember Where I Was That Day! My Son Is 25 Today. I Love This Song!

[lovejd73]

Very well done video - kudos to you! After 25 yrs., it still gets to me. TWENTY FIVE YEARS, sigh. I'll never forget seeing this live on CNN. And kudos to John Denver for his wonderful tribute song -- we miss you ALL.

[Lilimeister]

@mrniggypants Haha sure.... I'm seriously having a laughing fit because of how stupid your comment was

[mrsspacegeek]

As a teacher, there can be no greater tribute. Thank you to Christa and John Denver. Heard this song more times than I can say. I always cry.

[MrNiggyPants]

@mrsspacegeek Christa Mcaauliffe was the reason the shuttle exploded.

astronauts train for years to go up in space and that stupid teacher bullied her way onto the flight and hit the wrong button when they went throttle up.

[AegisNova]

@MrNiggyPants That's almost funny...almost...

[tikkihut58]

@MrNiggyPants - why leave such an uneducated comment?

[chengloki]

@MrNiggyPants Your blasted idiot!!! She got the position because of her students. Can you imagine what they felt?? No, I guess you can't. (Bye the way, tech seatting are no where near any controle). Show's how much you know. But, who cares, you have a big mouth, and know how to use it. Kudos, to you, asshole. You must be a "progressive". How's that Hopey Changey thing working for you? Ain't doing shit for me. =Stefan=

@MrNiggyPants If I thought you were any kind of educated person I would try and argue what an idiotic point you have made. But seeing as you cleary don't have a brain cell to speak of, either in your head or to carry round in a portable appliance I won't bother. You are clearly an idiot and it's shame - given your lack of respect for the dead, or indeed anyone who is prepared to take a risk for the sake of the enhancement of the human race that people died so that you could live.

[TourmalineOpal]

Rare for me, but I'm crying. It is for several reasons. This is such a beautiful and moving song. It's so wonderful. The explosion of the shuttle was very tragic. Poor John didn't get to go like he wanted to. He was temporily saved. Then he pass away in a plane crash, which is similar. Worst of all I have not been able to find this song on CD, so I can't listen to it a lot. I really enjoyed the clip.

[kressrises]

THANK YOU so much for making this. I volunteer at a challenger learning center (flight simulator for kids) and this moved me to tears. I will learn this song on my guitar and play it our space ener sometime for some screening glaa or something - thanks I'd never heard it!

[FIREMARK1965]

Brilliant song and tribute to the challenger crew by a wonderful singer song writer R.I.P

[mcsadapted]

beautiful heartbreaking song about one of the saddest days I can remember

[Laurel010203]

I love this song, it´s a really great song, about great people like the crew of Challenger. *-*

[SaintIrishSniper]

love this song!!!!!

[Golfgtiguy]

My Brother Paul needs a drink before he gets on a plane .Don't think he'll make it to Nasa...

Rip to the  astronauts .

[pijirigua67]
