They both cheered, but neither had any reason to suspect that the event would someday directly change their lives. Much later she said, "When I was young, women did not fly in space." Neither did teachers. No one could have foreseen the final six months of her 37 years. Sharon Christa McAuliffe was a wife and a high school teacher in Concord, when NASA announced that she had been chosen to join the crew.
