Well I figured that the subject might catch your eye....

No.  I am not into conspiracy theories nor am I suggesting one here.

A few weeks back I heard of or read somewhere that the challenger
astronauts (or some of them anyway), may have survived the initial
explosion long enough to accuate some sort of emergency oxygen or
life support system.  All I got was just a fleeting impression,
nothing detailed.

Did anyone else on the net hear anything like this?
If yes is there some sort of publication, book, or magazine
that would give me further details?

Anything you may suggest will be of help.  NASA public affairs at 
AMES (at least the person I spoke with) says it is BS, but I am 
not so sure.

Thanks in advance.
