Thank you for sharing this. I did not know about this documentary. He did so much in his short life. I wish they would make a movie about him. I remember being in the 5th grade and watching the Challenger space shuttle launch and then explosed. We were so upset. They actually had a therapist at the school b/c kids were so horrified and upset. We had been studying space and Nasa for months. Also the astronauts we knew all about them. That was pretty tough. I will never forget that.
