NASA Challenger: The Final Flight

196

a few more photos from yesterday.  i can’t believe how perfect the conditions have been all Summer.  offshore winds and super sunny…good to see the girls having fun too.  the best left on the South shore.  this is Ala Moana Bowls!only locals get the best waves…

omg, did you see the NASA Challenger documentary on Netflix???  OMG, i watched it and i had the chills.  it brought back so many memories.  i was sitting in a small parking booth in Waikiki because that was my full time job after high school.  a tourist passed by my booth and said “OMG, the Challenger exploded!!!”  soon after that, i saw people walking around crying and so sad.  and when i got home and watched the news, i was so crying and sad too!Astronaut Ellison Onizuka was a 3rd generation Japanese/American living his dream.  the first Japanese to go to space and was a role model for us Japanese living in Hawaii.  he was in the Challenger when it exploded and everybody in Hawaii was very sad for a very long time.  and watching this documentary brought back all those sad memories.  i didn’t know the whole story on what happened, but now i do.  and i’m even more sad because it could have been prevented…
