Watched it in class while in middle school. It was a big deal and a public announcement was made.

And nobody made any jokes about it. Nothing to joke about. It involved the loss of human life and put a major dent in NASA organization both internally and politically.

Took the kids to Space Center Houston a few years ago and watched the History of Space IMAX. The footage of the control center's reaction to the Challenger explosion brought a new level of reality to it.

Swimmin around in my Dad's bag.

I was a sophomore in high school. We didn't watch it but a teacher from another class walked into our class and told our teacher that it blew up.

I was in 4th grade and the 6th grade teacher came in and told us. They were watching it live.

I was in third grade watching it live.

i was at work and the boss gave us the rest of the day off. My wife and i went straight to Highland Appliance and bought our first VCR together and went home and taped the coverage.

that tape is sitting right next to my Super Bowl XII video tape that i taped from 1978.

I was in 2nd grade in Flower Mound, I remember they wheeled a TV in for us to watch the launch. We all watched what happened and the teachers and most of the kids were crying and we gotz to go home early..

I don't recall if I saw this live or not. I was in England and was 5 years old.




Jokes in poor taste - N.A.S.A = Need another seven astronauts.

3rd grade as well. Mrs Tucker came in crying and told us what had happened. Was really strange when the Columbia went down almost on the anniversary date.
