Space Shuttle Challenger

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the explosion of the Challenger.  I saw some mention of it on facebook, and it was a reminder that before September 11, that was my generation's "Remember where you were at" moment.  I remember a rumor passing through the class that the space shuttle blew up, then an announcement on the PA system, then they rolled the TV into the classroom and we sat there and watched replay after replay of the launch and the explosion.  Compared to September 11, it was a minor event, but at the time it seemed huge.  One thing about this anniversary, it sure makes me feel old.
