Leave your sunblock at home because for STS-8, Challenger is launching at night! On this episode we deploy a satellite, test TDRS-1, confuse some rats, and wiggle around a big heavy dumbbell in space. #STS8 https://t.co/iuKRpnthrV

I was barely 15 years old on the day of this launch, but I still fondly remember the excitement conveyed by @LynnSherr and Gene Cernan on ABC. Hands-down the best coverage of a space shuttle launch I ever saw on television. And I probably watched them all (or close to it!) #sts8

35 years ago today, the Space Shuttle Challenger made the program's first nighttime launch, and NASA astronaut Guy Bluford made history as the first African-American in space. https://t.co/99DsgYqTcM
