I can\'t believe it has been 20 years.
« on: January 28, 2006, 11:17:20 pm »
Since the horrible accident that took the lives of 7 people and almost derailed the Space Program for good.
I am writing about The Challenger. I remember watching in class(back then Shuttle launches were big news) and the horror that filled the class as we watched the shuttle just blow up and disappear in pieces.

Worrying is like praying for something you don't want.

yeah, amazing that its been that long. I still have the original clip from 1986 on VHS. Mother had to tape it for me since I had to go to school. I guess I cried and tried to stay home to watch the shuttle lunch.
Love many, trust few and don\'t be late.

Its probably the beginning of it. All I ever wanted to be was an astronaut, until 1986 then it began to fade away. Every room I had while I was younger had that Photo Wallpaper of the shuttle in space.

appropriate, I guess.
