The Challenger tragedy changed not only NASA, but the entire space agency when it comes to safety. The cause of the accident was found to be defective O-rings. Do you remember where you were when it happened?

Plus, since we are close to Halloween I imagined that this is what it looks like when the werewolves get anxious! As I was staring at the moon, something awesome was happening on the other side of the United States.
