Challenger Shuttle Disaster and Crew

The shuttle exploded and all seven crew members lost their

lives.

This is Judy Resnick, an engineer and pilot aboard the Challenger mission.

In 2013, an eagle-eyed internet user found Judith

Resnick,

a law professor at Harvard Law School.

Some people were a little taken aback by the identical name, age,

and likeness, so they started digging. This is Michael J.

Smith, also an engineer and pilot aboard the Challenger shuttle,

who

passed away that fateful day in 1986 at the age of thirty-nine years old.

This is Dr. Michael J. Smith, professor of engineering at the

University of Wisconsin. Hmm. This is Sharon

Christa McAuliffe, arguably one of the most famous things

about the

Challenger mission. She was supposedly just a teacher that

was picked at

random to be one of the astronauts, which made it all the more tragic when she

passed away due to the Challenger disaster in 1986.

This is Sharon A. McAuliffe, also a law professor, who received her

degree shortly after the Challenger disaster.

Dick Scobee was the commander of the mission.

Here's Commander Dick Scobee next to Richard Scobee, the CEO of

Cows in Trees. Here's his company's original logo.

It's a cow, but it's not in a tree. It's strapped to a rocket, and gee,

that jet stream kinda looks familiar.

In fact, just in case I wasn't making it clear, uh,

the top picture

is the Challenger ship shortly after exploding.

So you know, hmm. Astronauts Ronald McNair and

Ellison Onizuka both passed away when the Challenger shuttle exploded.

Miraculously, it was found out that they both had twin brothers,

Carl McNair and Claude Onizuka. But ancestry

searches were done for both Carl and Claude, and there was no birth records

found, and the odds of two sets of identical

twins in a crew of seven

are astronomical. But that's just a theory.

Rest in peace to the crew of the Challenger Space Shuttle mission.
