I can still remember exactly what I was doing and where I was when challenger blew up. I live in Alabama and it was incredbily cold down here that week.. -6F. Coldest I ever remember. It was also extremely cold at the cape. 20F or so. Thats whats caused the failure of the oring in the booster. So cold it wasnt pliable enough to stand the pressure. Can also remember everthing from columbia burning up. Remember watching the tv and the shuttle was overdue. 1 min past then 2 then 3.. It was awful. I worked for NASA for 5 years up at the Marshall space flight center on Redstone arsenal in Huntsville, Al. The only reason I left was due to no job security. I really did enjoy my time there.
I was in 5th grade, watching it in school. I remember it was a pretty big event at school because of the "Teacher in Space" program. I also remember my teacher crying when it happened.
Obama did.
You have a point I didn't look at it that way. good thing I don't have sattelite. No i'm sure the russian will take full advantage. They'll most likly be doing all of our space work. God help us all.
