Challenger victims remembered on 20th anniversary of the tragedy.


"If you want perfect safety in flight, you have to sit on the fence fence [short for defense], humanly erected barrier between two divisions of land, used to mark a legal or other boundary, to keep animals or people in or out, and sometimes as an ornament. In newly settled lands fences are usually made of materials at hand, e.g.  and watch the birds." While being interviewed about the loss of her husband and six others who perished aboard the Challenger space vehicle, Jane Scobee Rodgers quoted one of the Wright brothers about the dangers associated with flying.
