Today marks 30 years ago when the Crew of the Space Shuttle Challenger mission 51L were all killed.
The world was in disbelief when this happened. People would sit and stare at the television watching it over and over again.
The Challenger left Kennedy Space Center only seconds later to explode killing all aboard.
This flight was different from any other because the shuttle carried teacher, Christa McAuliffe, who was not an astronaut.
