FILE - In this Oct. 29, 1985 file photo, Christa McAuliffe of Concord, New Hampshire, stands next to Space Shuttle orbiter Challenger at Pad 39-A at Kennedy Space Center, Florida. A whole generation _ including McAuliffe's own students _ has grown up since McAuliffe and six other astronauts perished on live TV on Jan. 28, 1986, a quarter century ago this Friday, Jan. 28. 2011. Now the former schoolchildren who loved her are making sure that people who weren't even born then know about McAuliffe and her dream of going into space. (AP Photo/Jim Neihouse, File)
