Onizuka was a victim in America's first pace disaster.
Autograph Letter Signed: "Ellison Onizuka", 1p, 8x11. No place, 1984 February 24. To
Venessa. In full: "Thank you for your interest in the Space Program. I've always wanted
to be an astronaut since a very early age and am now convinced that I've made a good
career decision. I also feel very fortunate to have been selected for this program. The
astronaut job has been very challenging and certainly very worthwhile. I enjoy what I'm
doing and am looking forward to flying on the shuttle. Good Luck with your project!"
On January 28, 1986, the Hawaiian-born astronaut was one of the seven crew
members killed when the space shuttle Challenger (STS-51-L) exploded 73 seconds
after liftoff. Onizuka (1946-1986), selected as a NASA astronaut in January 1978, had
previously flown on the Discovery (STS-51-C) during its first dedicated Department of
Defense mission (January 24-27,1985). Lightly creased at upper blank portion. Fine
