I was 12 when this happened, about year 6 at school, and i remember seeing it on TV in class, but I am not sure if it was 'live' or just a replay on the news. The time difference is what is throwing me out.

quote:

"In a series of telephone conference calls the night before Challenger's liftoff, engineers from NASA contractor Morton Thiokol recommended against a launch because data showed that cold temperatures compromised the O-rings' resiliency. The temperature at launch time was 36 F. Under perceived pressure from NASA managers, Thiokol managers reversed themselves and went against the recommendation of their engineers not to launch, according to the investigation by a commission appointed by U.S. President Ronald Reagan. "

I can read, but I asked that because I was wondering if she is really a south korean or if she's originally from some other asian country and got trasnfered to France via South Korea. So go fuck yourself, dickhead.

Sad indeed.



I was about... 15 days old, when it happened.

But I remember learning all about it, watching tons of discovery and cnn channel specials about it.

The American manned space program has never been the same since, and now with the latest disaster, it may be the end of the shuttle for good. I won't be that upset to see it go either.

It's a shame that two crews had to die, for NASA to realize that the shuttle's time had come and gone.

God Damn I am old!!!

I was 12 in Junior High when it went down. I remember that my science class was in the A/V room watching it. We were going to make a celebration out of it, we popped corn, raided the teacher's lounge soda stash and were sitting back watching the launch.
I remember sitting there hearing the words. "Throttle Up" and then.......I relized that it was gone, even though it happened almost around the time the 2 external boosters break off. It was a sad day,

God I am old.......
