Space Shuttle Memories
The Challenger disaster. What memories.
I have a long and odd relationship with the Space Shuttle. Living in Florida in the late 70’s and early 80’s, we were often able to see the shuttle go up even though it was hundreds of miles away on the opposite coast. You could see a trail of smoke trailing a tiny sliver of shininess, and watch the plume arc as the shuttle took off over the Atlantic Ocean.
This was pretty neat for me, having been a space-age kid raised on moon launches and Tang.
