Rain Could Postpone Challenger Launch
Weather threatens NASA plan as a frontal system brings rain and thunderstorms to Cape Canaveral on Sunday morning. The three hour window begins at 9 36 a m EST for liftoff while two North African abort runways in Dakar and Casablanca are ready. Christa McAuliffe, a 37 year old Concord New Hampshire high school teacher, prepares to teach two lessons and film a demonstration for schools. More than 600 teachers and 4000 students gather to watch the launch on PBS.
