Sad

hmm did I miss something or did this happen a few years back?

Challenger happened like 15 years ago

Colombia was this year

Oh yeah, before that, Chllenger exploded.

I remember when Challenger happned. They sent us home from school early that day. The Tv was filled with the Challenger coverage, just like when the R.Regan assination attempt.

Poor me, I was already in my sophmore year of College when that happened...OMG I am old!!

I am always extremely distressed that there are people on this board who were not yet born when Challenger blew.

I know!!!

i saw the space shuttle columbia when i was on holiday a few weeks before it happened i was really upset......

Challenger+ me= i was not born then.

Don't feel bad diegocala, I think your only a few years older than me. I'm 32.

I was 4 when the challenger blew up

I was eating lunch in my eigth grade homeroom when I first saw the coverage of the explosion. Usually "Divorce Court" was on and our homeroom teacher would let a few of us watch tv during lunch cuz we were good students. It was a big deal since a teacher was on board.
