already been done - 35 yrs ago -check out the movie Doc Savage the Man of Bronze - otherwise a somewhat cheezy movie but with a few good points

I was in the Air Force, stationed at Williams AFB in Arizona. I slept late because my wife and I had been up most of the night with our son born 1/17. My wife got me out of bed telling me something had happened. We had seen the shuttle before when it was being transported across the country on the back of of a 747. My wife being a teacher, felt the loss of McAuliffe heavily. I mourned for them all. Years later we went to the Museum and Planetarium named for her in New Hampshire.
