How is this for feeling old - Challenger blew up 20 years ago tomorrow
For me itis one of the most defining days of my generation and certainly in my personal life.
I remember exactly where I was when it happened and what I was doing. I was one of the first people to know in my school because I was in the nurses's office when it happened and she had the radio on. I went back to class and told the teacher and he called me a liar in front of the whole class and never said sorry the next day. Somehow from that day and the little thrill I got from 'breaking' a story I got the journalism bug which effected the rest of my life.
I can remember listening to Regan's radio address on the way home from school in my mom's radio and my babysitter saying it was humans being punished by God because we had no buisness in space.
Assuming you are old enough to remember 20 years ago..what are your memories?
