Here's the thread from the other day, Where were you when the Challenger exploded?

17 long years.

Still -- it seems like seconds, like yesterday.

_sigh_

Pray for the crew, pray for their familes, and for the ones left behind who will continue to tame the winds of space and reach for the stars.

We go on.

Strange that this happened within four days of the anniversary of the only other shuttle disaster.

When I saw that thread I couldn't open it. I remember the day and I'm usually pretty tough but I cried all day. It affected me so personally and I know that it touched the hearts of many.

I had the TV on but was still sleeping this morning and I heard but my mind refused to connect it to the present and reality but when it finally did, I woke up crying hoping it was just a dream.
