I remember I was in school but not 'exactly' what I was doing.
I do remember when it happened however, how even we, as Canadians, were stunned (we're so proud of that ARM yea know )
I remember thinking, what does this mean?
It was my first life lesson that in the face of adversity, you deal with it but you also keep moving on...

I was yet to be born; but six months later my mommy would be pushing me out. But if you really look who has had worse space accidents-its been worse-so I am thankful the guys at NASA are so good.

Yeah that was 2 months before I was born... I missed so much that early spring/winter =/

i must have been in my kindergarden class. I dont think we watched it on TV though. I remember my dad talking about it though vaguely

Originally posted by Shakka I'm glad we chose to persevere. To not give up on our mission to explore our limits and to push to go beyond. The mission has always been dangerous, but our determination to keep pushing is admirable and courageous. Years later, a minor setback has given us even more courage. We have not let one failure close the door. Instead we remember, honor, and push on.

Wow, that was actually quite beautiful Shakka.

I think you're right. It's a testament to the human spirit that we, as a species, continually risk life and limb for the sake of new discoveries and I think our envoys into space mark the pinnicle of this exploratory drive. Two-hundred years before Challenger, nearly three-thousand people (half of them involuntarily) were sailing across over 10,000 miles of ocean to colonise Australia, accepting the high risk of disease or shipwreck to expand the frontiers of humanity. Throughout human history - and the First Fleet and the Challenger spacecraft are just two instances of this - people have made great, personal sacrifices to satiate the human desire to explore and expand its horizons and none made a greater sacrifice than the seven astronauts you just named. That individuals have taken such great risks in expanding the frontiers of human knowledge, I think, speaks volumes about the nature of our species.

As tragic as it was, you are quite right to say that humanity was right to persevere with its exploration of the universe to which it is inextricably bound, and I'm sure that's exactly the way these seven astronauts would have wanted it as well. I'm just hoping that I get to see a man on Mars in my lifetime.

So here we are 20 years later. Do you remember where you were that fateful Tuesday morning?

For the record I was two, so I have absolutely no memory of this happening. I do, however, know that it would have been just my mum and I at home at that time, because - if I've got my dates right here - my dad would have been visiting his dying father in England at around then...

Hm, interesting, I was automatically assuming you were born in France. So where were you originally born? If you know, that is.

Anyway, I was 4 at the time and I have no idea what I was doing. Probably beating my old lady neighbour with a stick. I so liked doing that when I was little and she was too good to make me stop
