the challenger exploded 22 years ago today, on january 28, 1986. i was almost seven years old and i can remember hearing about it. i had not went to school that day and was with my grandmother in the car and we heard about it on the radio.

“73 seconds later, at an altitude of 48,000 feet, the right solid-fuel rocket booster, which was leaking flame from one of its joints, broke loose and slammed into the external tank. the challenger space shuttle exploded and spun wildly out of sight.” (challenger.org)

i’m not trying to make light of the serious situation that it was or offend anybody, but i like humor. i love a good joke. for that reason, here are a few challenger jokes in memory of the day.
