I'm sure there will be a bunch of reminders of this today....

I still remember twenty years ago, sitting in my 5th grade class watching the twin trails on the TV set. The boys were drawing pictures of it for weeks later and I was disgusted with them. Maybe it was their way of dealing. I don't know.

Today, it still makes me incredibly sad. A lot of dreams died that day.

I was eight. We were in Florida for the week, and we watched the launch on TV. I was sitting on the floor next to my grandfather's recliner. NASA has a nice memorial up on their site for Apollo 1, Challenger, and Columbia that made me get all teary-eyed, remembering.

Challenger is quite possibly the first memory I have of a world event, something bigger than just what happened in my little neighborhood.
