Watched it with a pilot and fellow space buff of mine at work. We were both stunned into total silence.
We did a weekly call in TV show and threw out the nights topic and just gave folks a place to call and vent their feelings. Luckily we had a psychologist on as a guest and he stepped in to help people cope. I think we ran over by like 2 hours before the lines stopped ringing.
NASA has a bad track record with the cold, with the anniversary of Apollo One happening just a day or so ago, Challenger and then Columbia in a weeks time. Apollo wasn't necessarily the cold as a cause but the other two definitely were.
