re: #70 talon_262

I was in grade school when the Challenger disaster happened; years later, having the chance to appreciate Reagan’s tribute during that SOTU address where he quotes part of High Flight, it chokes me up a bit.

The only shuttle launch I’ve ever watched live was the Challenger..
I’ll never forget it.. I was at my buddies house that morning and we were going to work sometime..( Government workers…you know how that goes ) Drinking coffee..I turned on the TV and watched it in horror…I guess I’ve watched replays a thousand times…
