This day in History

Read about an important event that took place on this day and tell me your thoughts about it.

At 11:38 a.m. EST (10:38 AM our time), on January 28, 1986, the space shuttle Challenger lifts off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, and Christa McAuliffe is on her way to becoming the first ordinary U.S. civilian to travel into space. McAuliffe, a 37-year-old high school social studies teacher from New Hampshire, won a competition that earned her a place among the seven-member crew of the Challenger. She underwent months of shuttle training but then, beginning January 23, was forced to wait six long days as the Challenger‘s launch countdown was repeatedly delayed because of weather and technical problems. Finally, on January 28, the shuttle lifted off.

Seventy-three seconds later, hundreds on the ground, including Christa’s family, stared in disbelief as the shuttle broke up in a forking plume of smoke and fire. Millions more watched the wrenching tragedy unfold on live television. There were no survivors.

Regardless though, it is an opportunity to give and to receive hugs. Hugs are used to show you care for someone. Hugs are used when we celebrate something. Hugs make you feel good inside. Hugs are therapeutic. A hug is a way to say everything is, or will be okay.

COVID-19 changed many of our normal activities, hugging being one of them since it increases the risk due to not being socially distanced. Before the pandemic started, did you consider yourself a hugger? Did you freely give and receive hugs or did you choose not to give/receive hugs?
