Akron students remember trailblazing astronaut with moving virtual performance, 35 years after Challenger Disaster. Author: Jessica Miller Updated: 2:17 PM EDT May 17, 2021
AKRON, Ohio
In Akron, Judy Resnik s legacy of strength, smarts and determination is not forgotten.
Resnik was a trailblazer. An engineer, a pilot, and only the second female American astronaut to travel to space. But her inspiring story was cut tragically short by the Challenger Disaster 35 years ago, this year.
Resnik was also a Northeast Ohioan - growing up in Akron, and attending Akron Public Schools. Her memory still lives on in the voices of students from those very same schools. Judith A. Resnik CLC, the former Fairlawn Elementary, was named in her honor in 2006.
