CHRISTA McAULIFFE Very distinctive color photo inscribed to NASA food specialist Dr. Charles Bourland, who is shown giving her an orientation to “space food.” Photograph inscribed and signed: “Dr. Bourland -/Thanks! /S. Christa/McAuliffe”. Color, 8×10. SHARON CHRISTA McAULIFFE (1948-1986) taught junior high school in Maryland (1970-1978) and Concord, New Hampshire (1978-1979) and high school in Concord (1980-1985) before being selected as the primary candidate for the NASA Teacher in Space Project on July 19, 1985. She was a payload specialist on Challenger STS-51L which was launched from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, at 11:38 AM on January 28, 1986. McAuliffe and her six colleagues were killed when Challenger exploded 73 seconds after launch. DR. CHARLES T. BOURLAND, shown in this photo inscribed to him, researched and designed food for astronauts from the Mercury program to the International Space Station. Here is a shown giving McAuliffe an edible orientation. After retiring from NASA in 2000, Bourland wrote The Astronaut’s Cookbook and taught a course titled “Living, Working and Playing in Space” to hotel/restaurant management students at the University of Houston’s Hilton School. Astronauts have never cooked in space. Everything they eat must be carried with them ready to eat. But as stays in space grow longer, and space tourism becomes reality, improved food storage and preparation techniques will be needed, Bourland points out. This photo first appeared on the front page of the Houston Post on September 11, 1985. Fine condition. – Please contact us if you have any questions or require additional information. HFSID 291573
