Yeh, I remember the moment when Challenger blew up.

damn this sucks

What is this going to mean for the international space station. They can't cancel all flights like they did in the 80's. They have to keep that supplied. The russians can't do it alone.

I was in school when the Challenger blew up. My last period of the day we watched news all class.

Any stories yet on whether Pals/Arabs have celebrated? I really hope they aren't this tasteless.

[Az]

I still can't believe it. It's like the feeling I had in 9-11, or when Rabin was murdered.

Does the ISS need the shuttle? I though supplies and crews came on Russian (Soyuz & Progress) rockets and the shuttle was just for the construction jobs.

If the ISS was left without a crew, could they go back to it a few months later and start again without problems?

at my school we watched the news almost all day

they need it for crew changes. Although the russians have their method of getting cosmonauts up there.

I hate this because other nations will gloat. I really don't want to see any middle eastern pictures.

I was in fourth grade at the time. As I recall it happened before lunch time here in Califonria. I was watching it live when it happened and everyone kept asking the teacher what had happened and the teacher just said "I'm not sure", turned the TV off and went on with the day's leasons.

Human remains are now being found in San Augistin and Jasper Texas.

[Dis]

how can they teach after having that on?

My school tried so suppress the news and go on teaching. It was only my last class we watched the news. Humanities class- that was a worthless class anyways

I can't help but think about strange coincidences in this case though. I know they are only coincidences, but the conspiracy theories will be everywhere because of the Israeli and other things on this mission.

[Dis]

Jasper Texas? Those remains can be anything. Those racist ****s did a very bad thing to a black man a few years ago.

[Docfeelgood]

Nah, it has been confirmed by the Sheriffs dept.

Strange tho, most the people on the shuttel were from TEXAS.

[player1]

A terrible tragedy!

I watched one old documentary about Challenger disaster one month ago.
I nerver thought that something similar could happen today, 20 years later.


P.S.
I just don't understand that some folks here are so full of racial hate (Blame the ___!)
With such (wrong) attitude no conflict will ever be solved (it would just be "eye for eye", then again "eye for eye", and again and again...)

[Dinner]

People weren't esposing hatred in this thread, however, they were royally pissed off about Arabs in Gaza throwing parties and celibrating this tragedy.

[Jack_www]

I see no one expressing hatred or racism in here.
