Pine Donkey Report post Posted January 28, 2016 Junior in high school during my pre-Calculus class. We were listening to the radio broadcast that was being played over the intercom system in each classroom. Solemn day etched into our young minds forever. Pre-calc in Jr High, I am impressed!

Snapshot Report post Posted January 28, 2016 Feels like an eternity ago. I was working, and about a week away from my wedding to my first wife. I remember watching the playbacks of the space shuttle explosion, and the talk about the fuel tank seals. A lot of risk in space exploration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Sparky Report post Posted January 30, 2016 Senior in High School in Physics class watching on TV our teacher brought in. Pre flight we were talking about the change in G-forces and how to calculate them and other physics related parts of rocket launch. Afterwards we weren't talking but sitting teary eyed in shock.
