I was in 6th grade when the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded after liftoff. They even rolled out the television on a cart for us to watch that day. They made such a big deal about Christa McAuliffe being the first teacher in space. She was an absolute celebrity in the classrooms across America at that time. After the explosion, and the certainty of what happened set in, a lot of us kids were in tears.
