It was 29 years ago today that the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded... President Ronald Reagan was supposed to give his State of the Union address that night. After hearing about the explosion just before noon -- the Christian Science Monitor did a nice look-back at Reagan's day -- he scrapped that plan and instead delivered what is widely regarded as one of the finest speeches of his presidency.
