I was 19 years old and at Columbus Air Force Base. A lieutenant walked in and said “Space shuttle just exploded”. Took me a few seconds to process it.

Same here (well, middle school). I still remember it pretty well.

I remember I was in grade school. We were watching to launch live because there was a teacher in the crew.  It was very awkward when it exploded.

The Challenger disaster is one of my own “where were you when...” life events.

Merchandising! Where the real money is made!

Is this a new thing because I’m pretty sure I came up with this idea 25 years ago in my ENGR 111 course.
