Today is the anniversary of the space shuttle Challenger disaster. I remember being in school and watching it on TV live. May they rest in peace

I watched it unfold on TV, a sad day.
God bless them all,
I hope they achieved a much higher "orbit" out of this world.

We were out school that day because of snow and I was at my grandparents house watching it. Sad day.

I was walking through the campus center, junior year in college, it was on TV, wouldn't watch, never have. Just like the twin towers. Wouldn't watch it, still.

RIP to those on the Challenger. Let's not forget the Apollo 1 guys that also lost their lives on the same day.

I was working in supermarket in the dairy dept......... I remember Betty, a meat clerk, come frantically running thru the aisles, arms waving in the air, looking terrified and screaming "the shuttle blew up! The shuttle blew up!". Can't get that sight away from me..... RIP Challenger crew!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
