1 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: From WBZ News Radio in Boston. This is New England Weekend. 2 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 1: Each and every week we come together right here talk 3 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: about all the topics important to you and the place 4 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,920 Speaker 1: where you live. Thanks for tuning in again this week. 5 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 1: I'm Nicole Davis. Americans of all ages were glued to 6 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,920 Speaker 1: the TV and radio forty years ago later on this month. 7 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 1: It was on January twenty eighth, nineteen eighty six, when 8 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,279 Speaker 1: the Space Shuttle Challenger was set to take off. On 9 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 1: board was the first ever teacher in space, Christa mccauliffe 10 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,319 Speaker 1: from Conquered, New Hampshire. Tragedies struck as less than two 11 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: minutes after takeoff, the shuttle exploded. Al seven on board 12 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: were killed, including mccauliffe. The nation mourned those on board 13 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: and what might have been as part of that mission 14 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,480 Speaker 1: here in New England. Even today, Christa mccauliffe is still 15 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: honored at the mccauliff Shepherd Discovery Center in Conquered and 16 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: coming up, they've got some very special programming to mark 17 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: this important anniversary. Executive director Melissa Edwards is here. And 18 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: you know, Melissa, the more I learn about Krista, the 19 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: more of an incredible person she really seems to have been. 20 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 2: You know, I've come to know Christa a lot better 21 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 2: now as an adult than I ever did when I 22 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 2: was younger. I was very much younger when the whole 23 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 2: Challenger incident happened. But now I've learned about her much more. 24 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 2: I'm such even more impressed by her than I was originally. 25 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 2: And that you know, she was a teacher. She felt 26 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 2: pretty passionate, I think about teaching from a very early age. 27 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 2: She was you know, got married relatively young, had a 28 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 2: family relatively young, but moved into high school teaching. And 29 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 2: she's a former history teacher, which I also am a 30 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 2: former history teacher, so I have a lot of props 31 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,479 Speaker 2: for that. But she was somebody who I think really 32 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 2: understood the value of understanding who we are and where 33 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,639 Speaker 2: we come from and our history, and importance about telling 34 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 2: everyone's story, not just the rich and famous, but the 35 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 2: everyday person, and how all of those stories really help, 36 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 2: you know, us understand ourselves as a country. She was 37 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 2: also really excited about exposing people to new ideas. She 38 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 2: was a little bit of a I would say, I 39 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 2: would say revolutionary and but you know, progressive in her thinking. 40 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 2: She had a woman's studies class at her at Conquered 41 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 2: High School a little bit before that was you know, 42 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 2: kind of the thing that you did. And I think 43 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 2: she wanted people to learn new things is why she 44 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 2: decided to go forward the Teacher and Space program. And 45 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 2: I think that constant challenging herself and also wanting to 46 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 2: learn more so she could bring that back to her 47 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 2: students was something that really epitomied her as an individual. 48 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 2: And this is a I think as a person who 49 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 2: I think didn't take no for an answer. 50 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: Her energy and enthusiasm, it seems like she really did 51 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: love life and that enthusiasm for everything, for education, for life, 52 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: for space. I mean, the Teacher in Space program itself 53 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 1: was groundbreaking, but it seems like she was a one 54 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: of a kind person to choose for that. 55 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's I think it's when you watch interviews and 56 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 2: you see her in person, you see that aura that 57 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 2: comes through that you it was a given that she 58 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 2: was going to be selected, honestly, because she does. She 59 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,119 Speaker 2: has this effervescence about her, but she's not a judgmental. 60 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 2: She's not like you know, I know more than you. 61 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 2: She was just enthusiastic about all things, and it just 62 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 2: comes through in every interview and great footage everything. You 63 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 2: just see that energy and enthusiasm. 64 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: Well, the launch with the challenger and the crew was 65 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: incredibly popular because she was on board, so you know 66 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: that day there was a lot of attention from all 67 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: over the country and the world. A teacher in space 68 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: back in nineteen eighty six, that was just beyond people's 69 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: thought at that point. 70 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 2: I feel right, well, a private person in space. I 71 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 2: think you know, we were at that point still very 72 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 2: much in the mindset of you who had to be 73 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 2: an astronaut, and astronaut had to be a certain way. 74 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,839 Speaker 2: We'd only had a few years of women actually being 75 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 2: in the Astronaut Corps, and so I think this idea 76 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 2: of somebody who hadn't their whole life and focused on 77 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 2: being an astronaut or trained to be an astronaut going 78 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 2: into space that was revolutionary. 79 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: You're going to be marking forty years since the disaster, 80 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: and honestly I did not realize until recently that the 81 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: Planetarium when it first opened back in nineteen ninety, this 82 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: was a state memorial for Krista from the State of 83 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: New Hampshire. 84 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,479 Speaker 2: Correct. Correct, Yeah, built is a member a way to 85 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 2: remember her legacy. 86 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: Yeah wow. And then obviously it was a planetarium at 87 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 1: first and now it is significantly more than that. So 88 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: tell us a bit about the history of the planetarium, 89 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: how it has evolved into the discovery center that we 90 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: know now and conquered. 91 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, so it, you know, was for many years 92 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 2: the planetarium. It was the number one destination for many 93 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 2: students from across New Hampshire and around New England. I 94 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 2: have many conversations with older adults who are like, oh, 95 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 2: I remember going to the planetarum when I was a kid. 96 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 2: And then it grew the so it was owned by 97 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 2: the state, operated by the state, and then they decided 98 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 2: to increase the size. So around two thousand and nine 99 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 2: it increased it built a whole new wing close to 100 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 2: forty thousand square feet in addition to the planetarium, and 101 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,799 Speaker 2: it was basically like that as the mcculloff Discovery Center. 102 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 2: And then just shortly there after Alan Shepherd's passing, it 103 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 2: was decided to add his name to give him, you know, 104 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 2: again very important to figure in New Hampshire history a 105 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 2: call out as well. So became the mccullugs Shepherd Discovery Center, 106 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 2: and then in twenty thirteen it actually became a separate 107 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 2: from the state, became its own five oh one c 108 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 2: three nonprofit and that's kind of how it's operated since then. 109 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 2: You know, I stepped into the footsteps of my predecessor, 110 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 2: Jane Jiroskis, who retired just two years ago, and it's 111 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 2: been an amazing organization. We have upgraded the planetarium the 112 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 2: last three years ago to it's one of only four 113 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 2: ten K digital planetariums in North America, which I tell 114 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 2: people means that the imaging the visuals are just so 115 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 2: much sharper. You can take a tour around the galaxy, 116 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 2: you can fly around the you know, Saturn, and swing around, 117 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 2: look the moons, all of those things that it's kind 118 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 2: of mind blowing to me. And what I'm so excited 119 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 2: is that I feel like it's right up what Chris 120 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 2: have wind want would be having young people, old people 121 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 2: see the universe in a way that kind of blows 122 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 2: your mind. It's kind of a little bit of like 123 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 2: we do live in the future when you can see 124 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 2: pictures that are being taken from a far away and 125 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 2: you can zoom around and look at it from the 126 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 2: comfort of your seat. 127 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, when I was younger, you talk about 128 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: people who are older talking about going to the planetarium 129 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: as a kid, I mean I remember going there and 130 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: taking it all in and just not wanting to leave. 131 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: And I actually really do credit the planetarium, your institution, 132 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: specifically for helping me learn to love space. I wanted 133 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: to go to that space camp for a while that 134 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: they had because of the planetarium. And there's probably so 135 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: many kids who feel the same way, because once you 136 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,239 Speaker 1: finally get to see space in such a up close, 137 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: up close way, I mean, you never forget that. 138 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 2: Oh it's so true. And I think I like to 139 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 2: say I'm kind of I've been involved with science centers 140 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 2: for decades. I've gone to every planetarium I can everything 141 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,359 Speaker 2: I can possibly see, And when I sit down in 142 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 2: our planetarium and I look at them bring up the 143 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 2: milky ways it looks that night, it gives me shivers 144 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 2: down my spine. And I think it helps us to 145 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 2: recognize how vast the universe is and how we're not unimportant, 146 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 2: but we're also a very small part of the larger universe. 147 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 2: And getting the ability for us to see things that 148 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 2: even one hundred years ago people dreamed of but knew 149 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 2: they would never get to see, it's just so phenomenal. Yeah. 150 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: I mean, you've got the James Web Telescope, you've got 151 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: all the rovers out there, you've got all of this 152 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: really cool exploration that's going on. I mean we're not 153 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: quite a like you know, Star Trek warp speed stuff 154 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: going on here, but still we're making huge strides. 155 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 2: We are well and we're going back to space. That's 156 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 2: the thing that's super exciting. As NASA is planning for 157 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 2: the Artymous two mission to happen and probably in the 158 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 2: next two months right now, the launch window is between 159 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 2: February and April this year. We're going to send astronauts 160 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,239 Speaker 2: around the Moon and we're going to send them farther 161 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 2: than any human has traveled ever, which is very exciting 162 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 2: to me. 163 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: It's super exciting, and honestly, you all are going to 164 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: be right on the cusp of you know, being able 165 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: to be part of this as much as you can 166 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: without actually going into space. And before we get to 167 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: that point, you've got a really big anniversary when it 168 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: comes to Christa and the work you're doing over there. 169 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: It's the fortieth anniversary of Challenger, and so you've got 170 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: this great couple weeks of programming.
