I was doing some construction work on a highrise on Florida's gulf coast when Challenger blew up. It was a cool day and the sky was clear and blue. We stepped out onto a balconey to take a break and we could see the shuttles's trail. It went up for a ways and then forked into two trails. I remember saying " Oh, that can't be good ". We heard the news at luch time.
I watched quite a few Shuttle launches both day and night and they're very cool but nothing comes close to watching a Saturn Rocket launch. I was at the cape for the last Moon launch and the power that thing had is indescribable.
