Jan. 28 will mark the 25th anniversary of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster in which all eight astronauts on board, including schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe, were killed when the shuttle exploded 73 seconds after liftoff. The disaster became a "where were you when?" moment for a generation, especially for schoolchildren -- now adults -- who were gathered in classrooms across the nation to watch live on television as McAuliffe made history. Florida State University experts are available to answer media questions and provide historical perspective on this national tragedy.
