        I was stationed at Patrick AFB and a group of us stood outside and watched it lift off. At first we thought it was a normal booster separation, but quickly realized something major went wrong. Tragedy for the crew and their families. It devastated NASA and the Space Coast region.

        It was one of those events, sort of like 9/11, where you watch it unfold and it just knocks the breath out of you.

        I was home sick from school. Sitting on the couch, miserable with strep, watching it live on TV. And then just...crying. Incomprehensible. 9/11 gave me flashbacks, watching it unfold on TV.

        We watched in our classroom. I remember our teachers face. Vividly.

        I was just an embryo at the time, but when I hear accounts from those who watched as kids, so many remember their teacher's face. The Challenger explosion impacted teachers in a very personal way.

        Tengo grabado ese día. Muy joven andaba yo caminando x Isla Negra y x un parlante de una radio de un local d la zona lo escuché. Solo atine a mirar el cielo y sentí mucha pena x ellos, sus sueños y sus familias. 😢

        I looked at the TV & saw that awful split cloud, & knew they were gone. I'll never forget it. Then in 2003, a close friend's boyfriend died in the Columbia tragedy. Those who died in our nation's quest to explore would be heartbroken to know that it is no longer a priority.

        I was standing in the student union at Appalachian State University. I think so many of us felt the importance of the word UNITED that day. We were the United States of America. And we grieved together.

        5th Grade in the library. I was 10. 1st thought I hope they ejected before the explosion. Was so young, so naive that I assumed shuttles had ejection seats like a fighter jet😔 Sad day for our country, and the hard working men & women at NASA

        I watched outside my home as we always did and saw it happen, it did not look right. Then my Uncle who worked for NASA called from Kennedy Space Center crying to confirm our suspicion. It was such a sad day and time. Such brave astronauts and the civilian teacher #Challenger #RIP
