Grace Corrigan remembers her daughter, Christa McAuliffe

Teacher in Space Christa McAuliffe perished along with six other astronauts when the space shuttle Challenger exploded on January 28, 1986. The world watched the horror live, as the TV cameras were fixed on Christa's parents, Grace and Edward Corrigan. Through an unusual series of events, Grace Corrigan has developed a special relationship with a group of Minneapolis teachers. She continues to inspire us all these years after she lost her daughter.
I made this video for MinnPost.com, an online news source in the Twin Cities. It originally ran on the 25th anniversary of the Challenger disaster.

The loss this lady has suffered as a wife and a mother. To continue to carry on in life...I just cant think of the right word for how much I admire her strength..but also for all the families of the astronauts that were killed that day. 💔

I feel the same way with Mark Klaas and Judy Shepard. That's why I get frustrated when people use their anguish and grief as an excuse to stay indignant for the rest of their lives. Grief is inevitable in life, but what we choose to do with it is what will define us. I think the problem is that people who are grieving often become very self-absorbed and instead of acknowledging that there's a bigger world out there, all they can think about is what they've lost.

[@TheAlmorah]

Those workers black balled in the usa job market because of this. Wow!

[@cookie244]

Lovely lady

[@djbeezy]

Wait!! The families knew about the o-ring problem beforehand?

[@ashleycountiss720]

Yes! The engineers told them it was way too cold and wanted to postpone but they had already postponed several times. It haunts those men to this day that NASA didn’t listen to them. They told their families it wouldn’t make it and it didn’t. Unfortunately it was all about the $$

[@djbeezy]

@ashleycountiss720 I have never heard about that before. I knew the engineers told management but I never knew the families were told.

[@emmettluketic4163]

The lively package unequivocally wait because step-uncle feasibly employ excluding a shivering hour. paltry, scattered albatross

[@Veronica-bc6pp]

I would’ve sued NASA

[@ashokiimc]
