In memory of: a space shuttle crew


Today 25 years ago I watched in disbelief in the dealing room of BNZ in Los Angeles as the routine start of the Challenger space shuttle ended in a fireball not even 2 minutes into the flight. Within seconds global trading came to a halt as traders absorbed the tragic event.

In memory of the crew:

Francis R. Scobee - Mission Commander; Michael J. Smith - Pilot
Gregory B. Jarvis - Payload Specialist 1; Christa McAuliffe - Payload Specialist 2
Judith A. Resnik - Mission Specialist 1; Ellison S. Onizuka - Mission Specialist 2
Ronald E. McNair - Mission Specialist 3
