i remember like it was yesterday. sort of like JFK assassination. some moments in time just stay with you.
my Uncle was a NASA scientist, at the Cape. he was also present when Apollo burned on the pad. and my Dad was involved deeply with the space program.
when it happened i ran over to my Dad's house saying 'turn on the TV! the shuttle blew up!!' he sadly said to me he never thought the children should have been allowed to attend a launch.
