I was in the fourth grade watching it happen with my own eyes. Not on the tell-a-vision, mind you, but literally with my own eyes, outside, with the rest of my elementary school. We didn't have class for the rest of the day, either. The teachers and administration we're too shook up to do anything useful.
Was Challenger really crewed for that flight? I don't know, but I saw the thing explode myself, so I know at least that part is real.
Edit: the jokes started immediately, too.
So, how do you filter jokes to an elementary school within 10 minutes of it happening back in 1986?
