Thanks for this information. It is what I was wanting to find out because
when I achieved the Chief Scout's Award in 1986, the Irish equivalent of the
Eagle Scout, the last shuttle disaster happened when Challenger blew up.
This was highlighted at the presentation ceremony and I will be reminding
this year's recipients of the same at this year's Chief Scout's Award
Ceremony in the Mansion House, Dublin. Just as with this flight an Eagle
Scout gave his life for the betterment of science and the discovery of
space. May William McCool and the others on Columbia Rest In Peace. AMEN.
