[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Watching the Challenger in school really hit hard for me last night. I vividly remember that day - although I was in 5th grade. [/quote]

It was such a vivid memory for me.  I was home sick from middle school and was watching it by myself in the living room.  It was so shocking.  Of course, no parent had a heart to heart with me about it.[/quote]

I had the same reaction to the episode--I was probably in 3rd or 4th grade and I remember it well but I don't remember it affecting me in the way that it was portrayed on the show. I mean, I probably reacted more like Kevin than like Randall or Kate and my parents were never concerned about it. It was sad for sure but we didn't have a big discussion about it at the dinner table.[/quote]

It affected me because of Christa McAullife. I was in elementary school  and they built up the whole “teacher in space” thing in the media and at my school. If it hadn’t been for that I don’t think little kids would’ve been impacted as much. I remember being really sad about her.

I was in high school when the Challenger tragedy happened and one of the science teachers at my school was a runner-up for the spot McAullife got. We were all watching that day, excited about the connection to our school. It was terrible to see it all unfold.[/quote]

I wonder if we went to the same high school. I was in 10th grade (home sick that day) so didn't watch it there, but we too had a runner-up for Teacher in Space on our faculty. I had her for a teacher two years later and she talked about Christa a lot.[/quote]

One of my best friend's dads was a runner-up as well (but I didn't meet her until 5 years after it happened). She had a patch that NASA gave him sewed to her backpack when we were in high school.
