Reply to comment by CalligrapherDizzy201 in NASA's Annual Day of Remembrance today, Jan. 26, honors the astronauts who died during the Apollo 1 fire and the Challenger and Columbia space shuttle disasters. by clayt6

The three accidents happened within a few calendar days of each other: Apollo 1 Jan 27, Challenger Jan 28, Columbia Feb 1. So I presume they chose a neutral day just before the first one for a week of remembrance.
